Lübeck is an electoral constituency (German: Wahlkreis) represented in the Bundestag. It elects one member via first-past-the-post voting. Under the current constituency numbering system, it is designated as constituency 11. It is located in southern Schleswig-Holstein, comprising the city of Lübeck and parts of the Herzogtum Lauenburg district.[1]
Lübeck was created for the inaugural 1949 federal election. Since 2021, it has been represented by Tim Klüssendorf of the Social Democratic Party (SPD).[2]
Geography
[edit]Lübeck is located in southern Schleswig-Holstein. As of the 2021 federal election, it comprises the urban district of Lübeck and the Ämter of Berkenthin and former Amt of Sandesneben from the Herzogtum Lauenburg district.[1]
History
[edit]Lübeck was created in 1949. Until 1972, it was constituency 9 in the numbering system. In the 1949 and 1953 elections, it covered the entirety of the city of Lübeck with the exception of voting districts 28, 30–33, 35–42, 52–55, 57–59, 140–143, and 151–161). In the 1957 and 1961 elections, it did not cover voting districts 26, 28–33, 35–43, 45–49, 52–57, 145–148, 150–153, 155, 156, 158, and 160. In the 1965 election, it acquired constituency number 11, and its borders were coterminous with the urban district of Lübeck, which remained until the 2002 election. At this election, the Ämter of Berkenthin and Sandesneben were transferred into the Lübeck constituency; the Amt of Sandesneben was abolished in 2008, but the constituency was not geographically affected.
