In the 1920s, after the establishment of the Weimar Republic, Petzold began to be politically active in the Reich Party of the German Middle Classes (Economic Party). From December 1924 to July 1932, Petzold was a member of the Reichstag of the Republic for three legislative periods on his party's national election proposal . In his party, Petzold was considered a representative of the left wing. Since 1924 Petzold was a member of the leadership of the Reichsbanner Schwarz-Rot-Gold , but had to give up this function again under pressure from his party.
