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 122 comprised the judicial districts Mies , Weseritz , Tuschkau , Dobrzan and Staab as well as the communities Littitz ( judicial district Pilsen ) and Autschowa ( judicial district Bischofteinitz ). The cities Mies , Weseritz , Tuschkau , Dobrzan and Staab (all constituencies 93 ) were excluded . From the Imperial Council election in 1907 went German agrarians Vinzenz Hofmann out in the first round as the winner. In the 1911 Reichsrat election , Hofmann was replaced by his party colleague Hans Strziska .
