Munich South (electoral district)
Munich South is one of the 299 single member constituencies used for the German parliament, the Bundestag. One of forty five districts in Bavaria and one of four districts covering the city of Munich, it covers six of the city's twenty five boroughs.
The constituency was created for the 1949 election, the first election in West Germany after World War II. Since its creation, most elections in the district have been won by the Christian Social Union. Exceptions to this pattern occurred at the 1949, 1965, 1969, 1972 and 1998 elections, when the constituency was won by the Social Democratic Party of Germany. Since 1998, the seat has been held by the CSU, with the SPD registering their worst ever performance in Munich constituencies at the 2009 election as the constituency was held by Peter Gauweiler, who had regained it for the CSU at the 2002 election.Results
