1952/53 and from 1959 to 1963 he was a member of the Bremen citizenship and from 1959 to 1963 chairman of the CDU parliamentary group.

He was a member of the German Bundestag from 1953 to 1961 and again from 1965 to 1972.

As the successor to Senator Johannes Degener (CDU), Kramig was from October 8, 1958 to December 21, 1959 Senator for Welfare and Health in the Senate of Wilhelm Kaisen (SPD) in Bremen. He was followed by Karl Weßling (SPD) as Senator for Health and Annemarie Mevissen (SPD) as Senator for Welfare .

Since 1972, although not a displaced person , he belonged to the group of Union MPs around Herbert Czaja and Heinrich Windelen , who rejected the basic treaty with Poland , which recognized the Oder-Neisse line as Poland's western border.
In the summer of 1975 he founded the Bremer Freundeskreis Franz Josef Strauss eV with the member of parliament, Emil Koschek , with the aim of developing it into a state association of the CSU , which - as there were similar efforts in other state associations - led to a fierce controversy between the two union parties which was only settled shortly before the Bremen state elections in autumn 1975.

Goldbach scandal

At the beginning of the 80s, Karl Krammig got caught up in the tax evasion scandal involving the Wanne-Eickel mineral oil wholesaler Erhard Goldbach . Krammig was in custody for several weeks, but was released on bail. He should be brought to court as an accomplice in tax fraud, as he is said to have been informed about all the details of Goldbach's business for years; in particular, according to the public prosecutor, he knew that Goldbach could only keep the group of companies alive through massive tax evasion.
