History
During the period of the German Empire, the Thuringian states each had a voice in the Bundesrat – in all eight votes. They thus formed a significant block, especially when one considers that the Kingdom of Saxony had only four votes. The Thuringian states, however, rarely agreed with one another. Until 1903, five states were represented by the Weimar delegate in the Bundesrat. Saxe-Coburg and Gotha had its own delegate, Saxe-Meiningen was represented by Bavaria and Reuss Elder Line by Mecklenburg-Schwerin.
