Düsseldorf West 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 held between 1919 and 1933. It existed nominally during the show elections to the Nazi Reichstag until 1938.
It comprised the western part of the Regierungsbezirk Düsseldorf in the Prussian Rhine Province, including the cities of Duisburg, Mönchengladbach, Oberhausen, and Mülheim. It was constituency 23 in the numbering scheme.[1]

Electoral system
The constituency was created for the 1919 election.[2] Under the proportional representation electoral system of the Weimar Republic, voters cast a vote for party lists. Parties were awarded a seat for every 60,000 votes in a constituency. Excess votes were aggregated at two higher levels of seat distribution: an intermediate level combining multiple constituencies (awarding extra seats to parties' constituency lists) and a national level (awarding seats to national lists of each party or alliance).[3][4]
