East Hanover 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 eight democratic elections between 1920 and 1933. It existed nominally in the show elections to the Nazi Reichstag until 1938.
It was located in northwestern Germany and comprised the contemporary Regierungsbezirke of Lüneburg and Stade from the Prussian province of Hanover. It was constituency 15 in the numbering scheme.[1]
