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 . The new Reichsrat election regulations created a total of 416 electoral districts, with the exception of Galicia in each constituency one member was elected in the course of the Reichsrat election.

The constituency of Silesia 2 included the cities of Freiwaldau , Zuckmantel , Würbenthal , Jägerndorf , Olbersdorf , Jauernig , Engelsberg , Weidenau and Friedberg .

In the 1907 Reichsrat election, Heinrich von Oberleithner , a member of the Moravian State Parliament and a candidate for the German People's Party , emerged victorious. In the 1911 Reichsrat election Oberleithner was able to defend his mandate.
