The district covers the Saarpfalz-Kreis and a portion of the Neunkirchen district, specifically the municipalities of Eppelborn, Illingen, Merchweiler, Schiffweiler, and Spiesen-Elversberg.

Homburg has been represented in the Bundestag by various members from different political parties over time.
