Electoral constituency in Landtag of Thuringia

Erfurt I 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 24. It contains northern parts of Erfurt, the capital and largest city of Thuringia.

Erfurt I was created in 1990 for the first state election. Since 2024, it has been represented by Sascha Castles of Alternative for Germany.

As of the 2019 state election, Erfurt I is located entirely within the urban district of Erfurt. It covers the northern part of the city, specifically the city districts (Stadtteile) of Alach, Azmannsdorf, Gispersleben, Hochstedt, Hohenwinden, Kerspleben, Kühnhausen, Linderbach, Mittelhausen, Moskauer Platz, Rieth, Roter Berg, Schaderode, Schwerborn, Stotternheim, Sulzer Siedlung, Tiefthal, Töttelstädt, Töttleben, Vieselbach, and Wallichen.
