History

Märkisch-Oderland – Barnim II was created in 2002 and contained parts of the abolished constituencies of Eberswalde – Bernau – Bad Freienwalde and Fürstenwalde – Strausberg – Seelow. In the 2002 and 2005 elections, it was constituency 59 in the numbering system. In the 2009 election, it was number 60. Since the 2013 election, it has been number 59.

Originally, the constituency comprised the districts of Märkisch-Oderland and the municipalities of Ahrensfelde, Bernau bei Berlin, Wandlitz, and Werneuchen and Ämter of Pakental, Biesenthal-Barnim from the Barnim district. Upon the abolition of the Panketal Amt ahead of the 2005 election, the former municipality of Börnicke was transferred out of the constituency. At the same time, it gained the Marienwerder and the former municipality of Zerpenschleuse. In the 2017 election, the municipality of Wandlitz and the Biesenthal-Barnim Amt were transferred out of the constituency.
