Originally, the constituency comprised the independent city of Deggendorf and the districts of Landkreis Deggendorf, Kötzting, Regen, and Viechtach.

It acquired its current borders in the 2017 election.
The constituency has been held by the Christian Social Union (CSU) during all but one Bundestag term since its creation.
