The electoral district of Bohemia 121 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 121 comprised the judicial districts Plan , Tachau and Jechnitz without the cities of Plan and Tachau (both constituency 92 ). In the 1907 Reichsrat election , the German agrarian Leopold Kolowrat-Krakowsky emerged victorious from the runoff election, but he died in 1910. In the subsequent Reichsrat replacement election, his party colleague Josef Mayer was able to prevail, who was also able to defend the mandate in the Reichsrat election in 1911 .
