Berlin was one of the 35 electoral districts (German: Wahlkreise) used to elect members to the Reichstag during the Weimar Republic. It sent members to the Reichstag in nine democratic elections between 1919 and 1933. It existed nominally in the November 1933 show election to the Nazi Reichstag but was redistricted for the March 1936 election.
It comprised the urban core of Berlin within the Free State of Prussia, corresponding to the city's boundaries prior to the Greater Berlin Act. It was constituency 2 in the numbering scheme. From the 1936 election on, constituency 2 was reconfigured to comprise the 10 western administrative districts of Berlin and was renamed "Berlin-West".
