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 77 included the towns of Gablonz , Wiesenthal an der Neisse , Tannwald and Morchenstern . Wenzel Bösmüller of the Social Democrats emerged from the Reichsrat election in 1907 and lost his seat to Adolf Glöckner of the German Radicals in the 1911 Reichsrat election.
