Anhalt (electoral district)

Anhalt was located in central Saxony-Anhalt. As of the 2021 federal election, it comprised the district of Anhalt-Bitterfeld as well as the Salzlandkreis district excluding the municipalities of Aschersleben, Barby, Bördeland, Calbe, Schönebeck, Seeland.

Anhalt was created in 2002 and contained parts of the abolished constituencies of Dessau – Bitterfeld, Halle-Neustadt – Saalkreis – Köthen, and Wittenberg – Gräfenhainichen – Jessen – Roßlau – Zerbst. In the 2002 and 2005 elections, it was constituency 71 in the numbering system. In the 2009 election, it was number 72. From the 2013 election, it was number 71.

Originally, it comprised the independent city of Dessau and the districts of Köthen and Wittenberg. It was reconfigured ahead of the 2009 election, losing most of its former territory from the Wittenberg district and gaining area in the new Salzlandkreis and Anhalt-Bitterfeld districts.

The constituency was first represented by Engelbert Wistuba of the Social Democratic Party (SPD) from 2002 to 2009. It was won by Jan Korte of The Left in 2009. In 2013, Kees de Vries of the Christian Democratic Union (CDU) was elected representative. He was re-elected in 2017. Kay-Uwe Ziegler won the constituency for the Alternative for Germany (AfD) in 2021.
