politics

He organized the state party , with which he united the government-loyal and conservative, mostly Catholic, MPs. Since there was no culture war in Württemberg , the Catholics saw the need to found the center's own Württemberg regional association in 1895 . Until then, the progressive-minded MPs among the Württemberg Catholics were either supporters of the democratic people 's party or joined the parliamentary group of the Left in the state parliament . The conservative state party strongly supported the politics of Prime Minister Hermann von Mittnacht in the state parliament .
