The Löbau Reichstag constituency was constituency No. 2 in the Kingdom of Saxony which returned a deputy to the German Reichstag. It is based upon the town of Löbau.
Following the North German Confederation Treaty the Kingdom of Saxon entered the North German Confederation in 1866.[1] As a consequence, the Kingdom returned Deputies to the Reichstag. After the founding of the German Empire on 18 January 1871, the deputies were returned to the Reichstag of the German Empire.[2] Following this Saxony participated in Reichstag elections from February 1867. Löbau returned a series of Reichstag Deputies until 1919 when the existing constituencies were scrapped.
