The Landtag of Schwarzburg-Rudolstadt was the unicameral legislature of the Principality of Schwarzburg-Rudolstadt. It existed from 1821 until 1923, five years after the dissolution of the principality.
Article XIII of the 1815 Constitution of the German Confederation compelled member states to adopt constitutions. Friedrich Günther, Prince of Schwarzburg-Rudolstadt led the creation of the principality's constitution and diet in 1816, though the first parliamentary session did not begin until 1821. [1] The initial composition of the parliament consisted of fifteen members representing the manorial lords, city dwellers, and land-owning subjects. [2]
Following the Revolutions of 1848, Schwarzburg-Rudolstadt adopted administrative reforms which effected the diet. The diet was thenceforth composed of nineteen members, elected in equal yet indirect elections. Further administrative reforms took place following the state's entry into the North German Confederation in 1866 and after the dissolution of the Principality and subsequent creation of the short-lived Free State of Schwarzburg-Rudolstadt. The final set of reforms resulted in the reduction of the number of seats in the diet to ten in 1921. [2]

The Provinces of Prussia were the main administrative divisions of Prussia from 1815 to 1946. Prussia's province system was introduced in the Stein-Hardenberg Reforms in 1815, and were mostly organized from duchies and historical regions. Provinces were divided into several Regierungsbezirke, sub-divided into Kreise (districts), and then into Gemeinden (townships) at the lowest level. Provinces constituted the highest level of administration in the Kingdom of Prussia and Free State of Prussia until 1933, when Nazi Germany established de facto direct rule over provincial politics, and were formally abolished in 1946 following World War II. The Prussian provinces became the basis for many federal states of Germany, and the states of Brandenburg, Lower Saxony, and Schleswig-Holstein are direct successors of provinces.
