Waldshut (electoral district)

Waldshut is an electoral district (German: Wahlkreis) in the German state of Baden-Württemberg. It is one of the 38 electoral districts used to elect members of the Bundestag, the federal parliament of Germany.

The district is named after the town of Waldshut-Tiengen, a major town in the region. It typically includes the Landkreis (district) of Waldshut in its entirety. The precise boundaries may be adjusted slightly from election to election to account for population changes, ensuring roughly equal representation across all districts.

The Waldshut electoral district is known for being traditionally a stronghold of the Christian Democratic Union (CDU). It has consistently elected CDU candidates to the Bundestag in past elections. The specific political landscape and voting patterns within the district are influenced by a mix of rural and suburban communities, as well as economic factors specific to the region.

The elected representative (MdB - Mitglied des Bundestages) for Waldshut represents the interests of the district's population in the Bundestag, participating in legislative debates, committee work, and voting on federal laws. The representative also serves as a point of contact for constituents with concerns about federal government policies or services.
