In the Weimar Republic he embarked on a career as a civil servant, first becoming a senior councilor and later a ministerial advisor in the Württemberg Ministry of Education in Stuttgart. In December 1918 he was one of the founders of the Württemberg Citizens' Party , was its first state chairman and represented it from 1919/20 to 1928 in the Württemberg state parliament . At the end of 1924 he was de facto deposed as party chairman at the instigation of Alfred Hugenberg .
