Mainz is one of the 299 single member constituencies used for the German parliament, the Bundestag. One of fifteen districts covering the state of Rhineland-Palatinate, it consists of the city of Mainz and the neighbouring areas.

Contents

The constituency was created for the 1949 election, the first election in West Germany after World War II. The constituency was held by the Christian Democratic Union (CDU) until the 1969 election, when it was gained by the Social Democratic Party of Germany (SPD). The CDU regained the seat at the 1983 election holding it until an SPD gain in 1998. The current representative, Ute Granold, regained the constituency for the CDU at the 2009 election, but will not be a candidate at the 2013 election.
