Erfurt III

Erfurt III is an electoral constituency (German: Wahlkreis) represented in the Landtag of Thuringia. It elects one member via first-past-the-post voting. Under the current constituency numbering system, it is designated as constituency 26. It contains central and southwestern parts of Erfurt, the capital and largest city of Thuringia.[1]

Erfurt III was created in 1990 for the first state election. Since 2019, it has been represented by Bodo Ramelow of The Left.

Geography edit

As of the 2019 state election, Erfurt III is located entirely within the urban district of Erfurt. It covers the central and southwestern part of the city, specifically the city districts (Stadtteile) of Altstadt, Bischleben-Stedten, Frienstedt, Hochheim, Johannesvorstadt, Krämpfervorstadt, Löbervorstadt, Möbisburg-Rhoda, Molsdorf, and Schmira.[1]

Members edit

The constituency was held by the Christian Democratic Union (CDU) from its creation in 1990 until 2009, during which time it was represented by Jörg Kallenbach (1990–2004) and Marion Walsmann (2004–2009). Bodo Ramelow of The Left narrowly defeated incumbent Walsmann in 2009; he was in turn defeated by Walsmann in 2014. Walsmann retired from state politics before the 2019 election, and Ramelow won the seat for a second time.
