The constituency was created for the 1980 election, drawing much of its electorate from the Reutlingen constituency. With the exception of the 1998 election, which was won by the Social Democratic Party of Germany (SPD), every election has been won by the Christian Democratic Union (CDU) since its creation. The current representative is Annette Widmann-Mauz, who was elected for the fourth time in 2013.^[2]
