History

Segeberg – Stormarn-Mitte was created in 1976, then known as Segeberg – Stormarn-Nord. It contained parts of the abolished constituencies of Segeberg – Eutin and Stormarn – Herzogtum Lauenburg. Originally, it covered the entirety of the Segeberg district; however, the Ämter of Bad Bramstedt-Land and Boostedt-Rickling were transferred to different constituencies in the 2002 election. In addition, the municipality of Reinfeld and the Amt of Nordstormarn were originally part of Segeberg – Stormarn-Nord; they were transferred to Ostholstein constituency in the 1998 election. Conversely, the municipality of Ammersbek was transferred to Segeberg – Stormarn-Nord from Herzogtum Lauenburg – Stormarn-Süd in the 2002 election. The constituency acquired its current name in the 2013 election.
