Weimar II is an electoral constituency (German: Wahlkreis) represented in the Landtag of Thuringia. It elects one member via first-past-the-post voting. Under the current constituency numbering system, it is designated as constituency 32. It covers most of the city of Weimar.
Weimar II was created for the 1994 state election. Originally named just Weimar, it was renamed before the 2014 election after a small part of the city of Weimar was transferred to Weimar I – Weimarer Land II. Since 2024, it has been represented by Ulrike Grosse-Röthig of The Left.
Geography As of the 2019 state election, Weimar II covers most of the city of Weimar, specifically the city districts (Ortsteile) of Ettersberg-Siedlung, Gaberndorf, Gelmeroda, Innenstadt, Legefeld/Holzdorf, Niedergrunstedt, Nördliche Innenstadt, Nordstadt, Oberweimar/Ehringsdorf, Possendorf, Südstadt, Südweststadt, Taubach, Tröbsdorf, Weimar-Nord, and Weimar-West.

Krause (2004–2009). It was won by The Left in 2009, and represented by Thomas Hartung, who defected to the Social Democratic Party (SPD) in 2010 and served the remainder of his term as a member of that party.
