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 125 comprised the judicial districts Oberplan and Hohenfurth as well as the communities Großdrossen, Höritz, Hoschlowitz, Kirchschlag, Kladen, Lobiesching, Maltschitz, Lagau, Pohlen, Priethal, Sahorsch, Schöbersdorf, Teutschmannsdorf Tritesch, Tweras, Wetter, Zippendorf (all judicial district Krumau ) and the municipalities of Böhmisch Fellern, Brod, Dubiken, Gauendorf, Hackelhöf, Hodowitz, Hummeln, Leitnowitz, Gutwasser, Ruden, Rudolfstadt, Strodenitz (all jurisdiction district Kaplitz ). The city of Hohenfurth ( electoral district Böhmen 94 ) was excluded . From the Imperial Council election in 1907 went German agrarians Gregor Kletzenbauer the winner. Kletzenbauer was also able to successfully defend his mandate in the 1911 Reichsrat election.
