Thuringia was one of the 35 electoral districts (German: Wahlkreise) used to elect members to the Reichstag during the Weimar Republic. It sent members to the Reichstag in nine democratic elections between 1919 and 1933. It existed nominally in the show elections to the Nazi Reichstag until 1938.
It comprised the state of Thuringia as well as the Regierungsbezirk Erfurt from the Prussian province of Saxony and Schmalkalden district from the province of Hesse-Nassau. It was constituency 12 in the numbering scheme.[1]
