Vogtlandkreis (electoral district)

Vogtlandkreis is located in southwestern Saxony. As of the 2021 federal election, it is coterminous with the Vogtlandkreis district.

Vogtlandkreis was created after German reunification in 1990, then known as Reichenbach – Plauen – Auerbach – Oelsnitz. In the 2002 and 2005 elections, it was named Vogtland – Plauen. It acquired its current name in the 2009 election. In the 1990 through 1998 elections, it was constituency 328 in the numbering system. In the 2002 and 2005 elections, it was number 168. In the 2009 election, it was number 167. In the 2013 through 2021 elections, it was number 166. From the 2025 election, it has been number 165.

Originally, the constituency comprised the independent city of Plauen and the districts of Reichenbach, Landkreis Plauen, Auerbach, and Oelsnitz. In the 2002 and 2005 elections, it comprised the independent city of Plauen and the Vogtlandkreis district. It acquired its current borders in the 2009 election.

The constituency was first represented by Bertram Wieczorek of the Christian Democratic Union (CDU) from 1990 to 1994, followed by Rudolf Braun until 1998. Rolf Schwanitz of the Social Democratic Party (SPD) won the constituency in 1998. Robert Hochbaum regained it for the CDU in 2002 and served until 2017. Yvonne Magwas of the CDU was elected in 2017 and re-elected in 2021.
