The 1924 Lübeck state election was held on 10 February 1924 to elect the 80 members of the Bürgerschaft, the state parliament of the Free and Hanseatic City of Lübeck.[1]
Results
[edit]The Social Democratic Party (SPD) remained the largest party but suffered major losses, dropping to 28 seats and continuing to lose ground compared to its 1919 and 1921 results. Meanwhile, the liberal German Democratic Party (DDP) collapsed, losing over half its seats.
A new bourgeois force, the Wirtschaftsgemeinschaft (linked to the Reich Party of the German Middle Class), emerged strongly with 21 seats. The Communist Party (KPD) gained ground on the left. The far-right nationalist Völkische Party entered state parliament for the first time.
