Main-Kinzig – Wetterau II – Schotten

Main-Kinzig – Wetterau II – Schotten is located in eastern Hesse. As of the 2021 federal election, it comprises the entirety of the Main-Kinzig-Kreis district excluding the municipalities of Bruchköbel, Erlensee, Großkrotzenburg, Hammersbach, Hanau, Hasselroth, Langenselbold, Maintal, Neuberg, Nidderau, Niederdorfelden, Rodenbach, Ronneburg, and Schöneck, as well as the municipalities of Altenstadt, Büdingen, Gedern, Glauburg, Hirzenhain, Kefenrod, Limeshain, and Ortenberg from the Wetteraukreis district, and the municipality of Schotten from the Vogelsbergkreis district.

The 2013 federal redistribution saw Hesse allocated an additional constituency. Main-Kinzig – Wetterau II – Schotten was created from parts of the constituencies of Gießen, Fulda, Wetterau, and Hanau. Until 2025, it was constituency number 175. Its borders have not changed since its creation.

The constituency was first represented by Peter Tauber of the Christian Democratic Union (CDU) from 2013 to 2021. It was won by Bettina Müller of the Social Democratic Party (SPD) in 2021.
