From 1910 to 1918 he was a city ​​councilor in Frankfurt am Main and from 1912 to 1918 SPD - member of the Reichstag in the constituency of Saxony 9 ( Freiberg , Hainichen ). Wendel volunteered for military service after Ludwig Frank's death . Contrary to his earlier view, he agreed to the war credits in 1914.

During the November Revolution , Wendel temporarily headed the press, news and censorship of the Frankfurt Workers' Council , and in 1919 he was temporarily deputy chief of the Frankfurt police .

He was a brilliant stylist and during his time in Frankfurt from 1908 to 1913 he edited the feature pages of the local people's voice . During the Balkan Wars he stayed as a correspondent for Vorwärts in Serbia , where he got to know the Serbian language and culture. In 1933 he emigrated to France and worked as an employee of the social democratic exile organ Neuer Vorwärts . He died as an exile in Saint-Cloud near Paris. He was buried in the Père Lachaise cemetery.

In addition to writings on the labor movement, Wendel published numerous historical, political and ethnographic works on southern Slavs . Along with Gerhard Gesemann , Josef Matl and Alois Schmaus, he is one of the most important representatives of German Serbo-Croatian studies .
