Stuttgart II (electoral district)

Stuttgart II is one of the 299 single member constituencies used for the German parliament, the Bundestag. One of two districts covering the city of Stuttgart, it covers one of the city's five inner districts as well as eleven of the twenty three outer districts.

Location of constituency in Baden-Württemberg

The constituency was created for the 1949 election, the first election in West Germany after World War II. For most of the period until the 1983 election, the constituency was held by the Social Democratic Party of Germany (SPD). At the 1983 election the constituency was regained by the Christian Democratic Union (CDU), who held it until 1998. At that election the constituency was won by SPD candidate Ute Kumpf, however the CDU regained the seat at the most recent election in 2009. The current MP is Karin Maag.
