The electoral district was created in 1907 with the introduction of the Reichsrat election regulations and existed until the collapse of the Habsburg monarchy.

history

After the Reichsrat had decided on the general, equal, secret and direct male suffrage in autumn 1906, the major reform of the electoral law through the sanctioning of Emperor Franz Joseph I came into effect on January 26, 1907 . With the new Reichsrat election rules, a total of 516 electoral districts were created, each with a member to be elected, which were determined by direct election with a possible runoff. The constituency of Bohemia 113 included the judicial districts Saaz , Komotau and Sebastiansberg as well as the communities Wetzlau and Swojetin (both judicial district Rakonitz ). The cities of Saaz ( constituency 87 ) as well as Komotau and Sebastiansberg ( constituency 86 ) were excluded from the aforementioned judicial districts . In the 1907 Reichsrat election , Hans Damm from the German Agricultural Party emerged victorious. He was able to successfully defend his mandate in the 1911 Reichsrat election.
