Stuttgart 2 is an electoral constituency (German: Wahlkreis) represented in the Bundestag. It elects one member via first-past-the-post voting. Under the current constituency numbering system, it is designated as constituency 259. It is located in central Baden-Württemberg, comprising the northern part of the city of Stuttgart.[1]
Stuttgart II was created for the inaugural 1949 federal election. Whilst the Christian Democratic Union won a plurality in the 2025 election, under the new voting system, their candidate did not actually win a seat in the Bundestag. This was due to the distribution of seats won by the CDU being decided by the first (direct) vote percentage of each winning CDU candidate, determining who took the seats. As the CDU candidate got a low vote of 30.4%, the seat will remain vacant throughout the 21st Bundestag.[2]

As of the 2021 federal election, it comprises the Stadtbezirke of Bad Cannstatt, Botnang, Feuerbach, Mühlhausen, Münster, Obertürkheim, Stammheim, Stuttgart-Ost, Untertürkheim, Wangen, Weilimdorf, and Zuffenhausen from the independent city of Stuttgart.[1]
