Liberal opposition in the pre-march

Since 1834 Bardeleben was a member of the Provincial Parliament for the Province of Prussia . At the Landtag of 1840, one of those moderately liberal MPs who passed a resolution to Frederick William IV in which the fulfillment of the constitutional promise of 1815 was called for. As a result, Bardeleben fell out of favor with the king, but held on to his political positions.

In 1847 Bardeleben was a member of the United Diet . There he was one of the 138 MPs led by Georg von Vincke who opposed the interference with the rights of the country by the crown. After the state parliament passed did not grant the full class rights required by the state parliament, Badeleben resigned his mandate in the committees.

March Revolution

After the March Revolution , Bardeleben took part in the United State Parliament, which was convened again for a short time. At that time he was already critical of the revolution. It would go beyond the goals of the liberal movement. He was elected to the Frankfurt National Assembly. There Bardeleben joined the moderately liberal casino fraction . After the murder of his brother-in-law Hans von Auerswald , he left Frankfurt to settle family affairs. After he was elected a member of the Prussian National Assembly a short time later, he resigned from the Frankfurt mandate. However, an illness prevented them from attending the meeting soon.

He was only able to participate in the course of the counter-revolution. Like the other moderate liberals, he accepted the move of the National Assembly to Brandenburg .

Reaction era

After the dissolution of parliament, he was initially not elected to the second chamber of the state parliament, which was formed according to the enforced constitution . It was not until the summer of 1849 that he entered the Chamber after the new election. There he belonged to the moderately liberal opposition.

For health reasons, Kurt von Bardeleben decided not to run again in 1852. Despite his actually moderate stance, he was politically persecuted during the reaction time. He was illegally transferred to the border with Russia as a district administrator . Bardeleben then said goodbye. Because of a denunciation, a lawsuit was even initiated. This did not happen because Bardeleben died earlier.
