Lübeck state elections in the Weimar Republic


Elections in the Free and Hanseatic City of Lübeck to its state parliament, the Bürgerschaft, during the Weimar Republic were held at irregular intervals between 1919 and 1932. These democratic elections were conducted under a system of proportional representation and universal suffrage.
Results with regard to the total vote, the percentage of the vote won and the number of seats allocated to each party are presented in the tables below.
On 31 March 1933, the Nazi-controlled central government forcibly dissolved the sitting Bürgerschaft of Lübeck. The parliament was then reconstituted to reflect the seat distribution of the national Reichstag, dominated by the Nazis. The subversion of democratic institutions was followed by the formal abolition of the Bürgerschaft under the "Law on the Reconstruction of the Reich" of 30 January 1934, which replaced the German federal system with a unitary state.
