History

Stade I – Rotenburg II was created in 1949, then known as Stade – Bremervörde. In the 1949 election, it was Lower Saxony constituency 11. From 1953 to 1965, it was constituency number 33. From 1965 until its abolition, it was constituency number 25. From 1987 until its abolition, it was known as Stade – Rotenburg I. Originally, it comprised the districts of Stade and Bremervörde. The latter was incorporated into the Rotenburg district in 1977, but the borders of Stade – Bremervörde (and later Stade – Rotenburg I) did not change.

Stade – Rotenburg I was abolished in the 2002 federal election, and divided between the new constituencies of Stade – Cuxhaven and Rotenburg – Verden.

In the 2009 federal election, it was re-established as Stade I – Rotenburg II. Since then, it has been constituency 30. Its borders have not changed since its re-establishment.

Members

The constituency was first held by Heinrich Hellwege, leader of the German Party (DP). He served from 1949 until his resignation in 1955 to become Minister-President of Lower Saxony. He was succeeded in 1957 by Peter Tobaben, also from the DP. He joined the Christian Democratic Union (CDU) in 1961 and was re-elected for that party in the federal election a few months later. He served until 1972, when he was succeeded by fellow CDU member Nicolaus Dreyer. In 1980, the Social Democratic Party (SPD) won the constituency, and it was represented by Wolfgang Schwenk for a single term. Horst Eylmann of the CDU regained it in 1983, and served until 1998, when it was won by Margrit Wetzel of the SPD. She served until the constituency's abolition in 2002.

After its re-establishment in 2009, it was represented by Martina Krogmann of the CDU. She was succeeded in 2013 by Oliver Grundmann, who was re-elected in 2013.
