Map of the constituencies for the elections to the 17th German Bundestag
WIESBADEN – As reported by the new Federal Returning Officer, Roderich Egeler, a Map of the constituencies for the elections to the 17th German Bundestag is now available.
Compared with the demarcation of constituencies for the 2005 Bundestag elections, considerable modifications have been made by the legislator through the Law amending the Federal Electoral Law of 18 March 2008 (Federal Law Gazette I p. 316). While, particularly due to changed population figures, there is one constituency less in each Saxony and Saxony-Anhalt, Baden-Württemberg and Lower Saxony have each received an additional constituency. The number of constituencies in each of the Länder must correspond as closely as possible to a Land's share in the total population.
The Map of the constituencies for the elections to the 17th German Bundestag displays the delimitation of constituencies valid for the coming Bundestag elections. The multi-coloured map shows the numbers and boundaries of all constituencies, along with their composition of administrative districts and towns not attached to an administrative district. In addition, it provides information on the delimitation of constituencies for larger cities which are partitioned into several constituencies.
The map (order number 405110099001) may be obtained from
