First he worked at the Frankenthal district office and the government of the Palatinate. In 1886 he became a District Office Assessor at the District Office in Griesbach im Rottal . At his own request, he came to the Augsburg district office in August 1890 . In November 1894 he came to the government of Swabia and Neuburg as a government assessor . In 1896 he became district administrator of the Landau district . In 1900 he came as a Councilor for the Government of the Palatinate. At the same time he was a board member of the agricultural and forestry trade association of the Palatinate .

On October 1, 1916, he was released against his request and sent to the government of the Palatinate in Speyer as a government director .

District President of the Palatinate

For 1919 the provincial government of the Rheinpfalz appointed Chlingensperg had after the First World War decisive importance for the fate of his home in Bavaria and the German Reich . During the peace negotiations in Versailles, the French 8th Army under General Augustin Gérard was in the Palatinate. Gérard wanted to detach the Palatinate from Bavaria and the Reich and establish a buffer state under French protectorate . The peace conference was to be presented with a fait accompli through an uprising with the help of some separatists . After opposing the separatists, the district president von Winterstein was expelled by the French. When Dr. Eberhard Haas , a wine chemist from Landau, wanted to proclaim the Palatinate as a neutral and independent ( dominated by political Catholicism ) republic on the left bank of the Rhine on June 1, 1919 , but Chlingensperg, meanwhile Winterstein's successor, prevented the proclamation. Belonging to those who “never wavered and did not give way” , he adhered to the Versailles Treaty and the Rhineland Agreement and upheld the integrity of the Palatinate and the sovereignty of Bavaria. When General Gérard claimed that Chlingensperg had defied his orders, he too was deported and deported on January 22, 1923, by detour across the Rhine.

District President in Lower Bavaria

When Ferdinand von Pracher , the district president of the districts of Lower Bavaria and Upper Palatinate , died, Chlingensperg was entrusted with running the business on February 6, 1923. Officially appointed on January 28, 1924, his position was not easy. He wrote: " The majority of the Lower Bavarian population has been indifferent to the important negotiations and events of external and internal politics, especially since the increase in the beer tax seems to have been averted. ... The frequent dance music and other public events that require money and which often go without the usual scuffle are in contradiction to the need. "He only retired when he was almost 70 years old. He spent the last five years of his life at Berg Castle in Landshut and with his daughter in Munich.

After Chlingensperg had retired in 1930, he devoted himself to the genealogy of his family, where he also worked as a local researcher and collected material on other Bavarian noble families, such as B. the Hackledt .

His great-grandfather Benno von Chlingensperg (1761–1840) and his uncle Dr. Max von Chlingensperg (1841–1927).

In 1932 he published the results of his research on the origins of the Lords of Chlingensperg as a separate volume in the series of publications by the Historisches Verein für Niederbayern , of which he was a member and honorary president. In the time before the Second World War, Chlingensperg was mainly concerned with researching the relationships between noble families in Lower Bavaria during the early modern period .
