After passing the assessor examination, Gebhardt became a police officer at the police office in Darmstadt in 1901, then district officer in Lauterbach, and in 1907 at the district office in Mainz. In 1910 he was appointed government councilor and director of the police office in Giessen. He took part in the First World War as a captain in the artillery.
