Kulmbach (electoral district)

Location of constituency in Bavaria

Kulmbach is one of the 299 single member constituencies used for the German parliament, the Bundestag. One of forty five constituencies in Bavaria, it covers the whole of the local government areas of Kulmbach and Lichtenfels and parts of the Bamberg county.

The constituency was created for the 1949 election, the first election in West Germany after World War II. After its creation, the first election in the district was won by the Social Democratic Party of Germany (SPD). However the Christian Social Union (CSU) won the constituency at a 1950 by-election and have held the district since then.

The current representative is Emmi Zeulner of the CSU, who was elected for the first time in 2013.[1] At 26 years old, she was the youngest CSU candidate in the election.[2]
