After the war, Falkner was first district administrator in Bogen / Niederbayern , then district president of the then unified administrative district of Lower Bavaria and Upper Palatinate (October 1 to 18, 1945). He was a co-founder of the CSU and until April 1947 its district chairman in Lower Bavaria. At the end of 1947 he joined the Bavarian Party (BP) and became its general secretary and state treasurer.

He was also chairman of the Bundestag committee for civil service law. In 1949/50 he was also the publishing director of the BP party newspaper Bayerische Landeszeitung .

Within the BP, Falkner belonged to the group around Joseph Baumgartner , Ludwig Lallinger , Jakob Fischbacher and Ludwig Volkholz , who relied on fundamental opposition to the CSU. Shortly after the federal election in 1949, he declared that the Bavarian party would "definitely" go into the opposition. Tolerance by the federal government can only be expected if the federalist demands of the BP are met.
