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 124 comprised the judicial districts Hartmanitz , Wallern and Kalsching excluding the communities Berlau and Neudorf as well as the communities Aussergefild, Buchwald, Fürstenhut, Gansau, Kaltenbach, Klösterle, Korkushütten, Kuschwarda, Landstraßen, Neugebäu, Obermoldau and Rabitz (all judicial districts Bergreichenstein ), Brenntenberg, Christelschlag, Chrobold, Frauenthal, Oberahid, Obersablat, Oberschlag, Pfefferschlag, Repeschin, Rohn, Sablat, Schreinetschlag, Wolletschlag and Zaborz (all Prachatitz judicial districts ), Albrechtsried, Langendorf and Swina (all Schüttenhofen judicial districts ), Bositz Kollowitz and Obergroschum (all Judicial district Retolitz ) as well as the communities Roschowitz and Sabor (both judicial district Budweis ). The cities of Prachatitz and Wallern ( constituency 94 ) were excluded . From the Imperial Council election in 1907 went German agrarians Wenzel Grössl the winner. However, Grössl died in 1910, whereupon his party colleague Rudolf Paulik succeeded him in the Reichsrat replacement election . Paulik was also able to successfully defend his mandate in the regular Reichsrat election in 1911 .
