The electoral district of Bohemia 119 was a constituency for the elections to the House of Representatives in the Austrian crown land of Bohemia . 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 119 included the judicial districts Marienbad , Königswart , Tepl and Bečov without the cities of the same name Marienbad , Bečov , Koenigswart and Tepl (all constituencies 92 ). In the 1907 Reichsrat election , the German radical agrarian Erdmann Spies emerged victorious from the runoff election. He was able to defend his mandate in the 1911 Reichsrat election again in the runoff election.
