Dahme-Spreewald – Teltow-Fläming III
Dahme-Spreewald – Teltow-Fläming III – Oberspreewald-Lausitz I is one of the 299 single member constituencies used for the German parliament, the Bundestag. One of ten districts covering the state of Brandenburg, it contains the whole of the county of Dahme-Spreewald, half of Teltow-Fläming and a small section of the county of Oberspreewald-Lausitz.[1] The constituency elects one representative under the mixed member proportional representation (MMP) system.

The representative elected in 2013 is Jana Schimke.[1]
