Friedrich Wilhelm von Hertling completed a law degree at the University of Heidelberg and came to the Mannheim court in 1779 . In 1781 he was transferred to the Department of Foreign Affairs in Munich. On March 24, 1785, Elector Karl Theodor transferred him to the Salzmairamt (head of the Salzmairamt, head of a salt works, with judicial functions (within a lower jurisdiction)) in Traunstein as a real court chamber councilor . On February 6, 1786, he was appointed town clerk in Mindelheim and, in 1792, while retaining his previous offices, he was appointed Bavarian envoy to the Swabian district . In the meantime he had been promoted to baron in 1790 , and in that year his father Wiguläus von Kreittmayr succeeded him as secret council chancellor. When the French general Jean-Victor Moreau approached the Bavarian border during the First Coalition War in 1796 , he was sent to negotiate with the general, together with the privy councilor Joseph Ignaz Freiherr von Leyden (1734-1809).

When Elector Maximilian IV Joseph took over the business of government in 1799, Friedrich Wilhelm von Hertling, like his father Johann Friedrich, was not only confirmed in all of his offices, but also confirmed as district judge when the organization of the land offices was changed.

On January 1, 1802, he became the treasurer appointed and he was from August 30, 1802 as kurpfalz Bavarian civil Commissioner used after the Luneville peace and Reichsdeputationshauptschluss , on behalf of the Elector Maximilian IV. Joseph to announce the billeting Bavarian troops in the city and to perform, he was accompanied by Maximilian Emanuel von Lerchenfeld . It began its work on September 3, 1802, after the Ulm territories had been occupied by Bavarian troops a week earlier. On September 4, 1802, he was in the Söflingen Poor Clare Monastery to initiate its repeal and to swear in the administration officials in Bavaria . On November 29, 1802, he announced the end of the imperial city constitution and the new legal situation to the city council in Ulm . Until the turn of the year 1802/1803 the provisional regional government was in Dillingen an der Donau . At the end of 1802 he was then appointed General Commissioner of the highest authority, the Electoral Palatinate Bavarian General Commissariat, for taking possession of the Swabian province in Ulm. He was thus the highest representative of the Elector of Bavaria in Ulm and Upper Swabia , who organized the transition of the imperial city of Ulm, its territories and Upper Swabian areas of various origins under the rule of Bavaria. The imperial cities that Friedrich Wilhelm von Hertling took possession of alongside Ulm for Bavaria included Bopfingen , Buchhorn , Dinkelsbühl , Kaufbeuren , Kempten , Leutkirch , Lindau , Memmingen , Nördlingen , Ravensburg and Wangen im Allgäu ; military occupation was followed by civilian occupation. The council consultant Gottlob Dietrich Miller had provided him with his memorandum on the constitutional representation of the imperial city of Ulm and its area , which was then sent to Munich. In the accompanying letter, Friedrich Wilhelm von Hertling had noted that the memorandum could serve as a guide for the institutions that the Elector wanted to give to the important city of Ulm and other imperial cities . He set up the new authorities in the state and ecclesiastical areas, so in July 1803 the Higher Justice Court as the highest court and in September 1803 the Kurpfalzbayerische Landesdirektion in Swabia, where he was given the position of President. In July 1803 he forbade the Oath Monday , but allowed the jousting . In 1804 he advocated the construction of the Catholic Church of St. Michael zu den Wengen , which had been closed due to secularization in 1803. After moving to Stuttgart, Philipp von Arco (1777–1805) was his successor.

In the period from 1804 to 1807 he was ambassador of Bavaria to the Württemberg elector Friedrich in Stuttgart , then from 1807 to 1810 Bavarian ambassador in Hague , later in Utrecht and from 1808 in Amsterdam , in the Kingdom of Holland and from 1810 to 1813 envoy at the court of the Prussian King Friedrich Wilhelm III. in Berlin . In 1813 he followed the court to Breslau . On May 1, 1813, he was given leave of absence with an expektance salary. However, before he could be activated in a future equivalent position according to his remuneration, he died at the age of 58.
