History
Oberbergischer Kreis was created in 1949. It was named Oberbergischer Kreis upon its creation, but renamed to Oberbergischer Kreis – Siegkreis II in the 1965 and 1969 elections. In the 1972 and 1976 elections, it was named Oberbergischer Kreis – Rhein-Sieg-Kreis II. It returned to its current name in the 1980 election. In the 1949 election, it was North Rhine-Westphalia constituency 12 in the numbering system. From 1953 through 1961, it was number 71. From 1965 through 1976, it was number 65. From 1980 through 1998, it was number 66. From 2002 through 2009, it was number 100. Since the 2013 election, it has been number 99.
Originally, it was coterminous with the Oberbergischer Kreis district. In the 1965 through 1976 elections, it also contained the entirety of Siegkreis district (Rhein-Sieg-Kreis district from 1972) excluding the modern municipalities of Bad Honnef, Königswinter, Niederkassel, Troisdorf, and Sankt Augustin. It acquired its current borders in the 1980 election.
