History

Magdeburg was created after German reunification in 1990. In the 1990 through 1998 elections, it was constituency 286 in the numbering system. In the 2002 and 2005 elections, it was number 69. In the 2009 election, it was number 70. Since the 2013 election, it has been number 69.

The constituency acquired its current borders in the 2013 election.
