From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Erfurt II 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 25. It contains central and western parts of Erfurt, the capital and largest city of Thuringia.[1]
Erfurt II was created in 1990 for the first state election. Since 2024, it has been represented by Niklas Waßmann of the CDU.
As of the 2019 state election, Erfurt II is located entirely within the urban district of Erfurt. It covers the central and western part of the city, specifically the city districts (Stadtteile) of Andreasvorstadt, Berliner Platz, Bindersleben, Brühlervorstadt, Ermstedt, Gottstedt, Ilversgehofen, Johannesplatz, Marbach, and Salomonsborn.[1]
