He then came to the Munich District Court as a public prosecutor . He married in June 1934 and had a daughter (1937) and a son (1942). From November 1, 1934, Hummel was given leave of absence from his work as a public prosecutor and was employed by the National Socialist Legal Guardian Association until January 30, 1943. In mid-February 1935 he became head of the Reich Main Office in the Reich Legal Office.

From February 1943 he acted in the Brühlschen Palais as vice governor of the Warsaw district under Ludwig Fischer . He was very concerned with the supply of the Jews in the Warsaw Ghetto and with the use of their labor. This led to serious clashes with Gauleiter Hans Frank , whose ruthless behavior Hummel did not approve. From 1944 he was SA-Sturmbannführer in the SA command staff of the Generalgouvernement. At the beginning of the Warsaw Uprising , an assassination attempt (probably a bomb attack ) by Akcja Główki at the Warszawa Centralna train station put an end to his life.
