The Free People's State of Württemberg was a state of the German Empire during the Weimar Republic. At the end of the First World War, the Kingdom of Württemberg became a people's state as a result of the November Revolution, which was bloodless in Württemberg. The borders remained unchanged, as did the state administration. According to the new constitution of 1919, which replaced that of the kingdom of 1819, Württemberg was still a member state[3] of the German Reich and now had the form of government of a democratic republic, which was described in the constitution text with the words free people's state.

The country's political development during the turbulent Weimar years was characterized by continuity and stability. Unlike the Reichstag, the three legislative periods of the Württemberg Landtag from 1920 to 1932 each lasted the four years stipulated by the constitution. In contrast to the neighboring state of Baden, the Social Democrats lost their influence on government policy early on. A conservative coalition governed in Stuttgart from 1924 to 1933. Despite the crises, Württemberg's economic development in the 1920s was more favorable than in other German states. The state capital of Stuttgart was an up-and-coming cultural and economic center.

When the National Socialists seized power in 1933, democracy was abolished in Württemberg and the country's constitutional order was abolished. The constitution of Württemberg as a free people's state only lasted from 1919 to 1933. The state continuity of the state ended in 1945.
