Gulpen (electoral district)

Den Gulpen's boundaries remained the same throughout the electoral district's existence.

It was situated in the south of the province of Limburg, including places such as Heerlen, Kerkrade and Vaals, as well as the village of Gulpen, after which it was named.

[3] The district of Gulpen was abolished upon the introduction of party-list proportional representation in 1918.

Unlike other districts in the south, however, elections in Gulpen were rarely uncontested, with multiple Catholic candidates often standing against each other.

Most famous among its members was Charles Ruijs de Beerenbrouck, who was first elected in 1905 and continued to represent the district until his appointment as Queen's Commissioner of Limburg in 1918.
