History

Hannover-Land II was created in 1949, then known as Hannover-Land. In the 1965 through 1976 elections, it was named Hannover III. It acquired its current name in the 1980 election. In the inaugural Bundestag election, it was Lower Saxony constituency 20 in the numbering system. From 1953 through 1961, it was number 42. From 1965 through 1976, it was number 38. From 1980 through 1998, it was number 42. In the 2002 and 2005 elections, it was number 47. In the 2009 election, it was number 48. Since the 2013 election, it has been number 47.

Originally, the constituency comprised the entirety of the now-abolished Landkreis Hannover district, as well as the municipalities of Lehrte and Sehnde from the Burgdorf district. In the 1965 through 1976 elections, it comprised the Landkreis Hannover district and the quarters of Döhren, Wülfel, Kirchrode, Bemerode, and Wülferode from the independent city of Hanover. After administrative boundaries were redrawn, from the 1980 election the constituency comprised the municipalities of Barsinghausen, Gehrden, Hemmingen, Laatzen, Pattensen, Ronnenberg, Seelze, Sehnde, Springe, Wennigsen, and Wunstorf from the Landkreis Hannover district. In the 2002 election, it lost Wunstorf while gaining Uetze und Lehrte.
