Holler came with the appointment on September 15, 1808 as a secular Catholic councilor in the newly founded church section of the State Ministry of the Interior in Munich and received the title Oberkirchenrat . In 1814 he was awarded the Knight's Cross of Merit of the Bavarian Crown honored and in this part of the Knights of Holler ennobled .
Holler was able to win the trust of the Minister Maximilian Graf von Montgelas and in 1815 became chairman of the church section and a member of the commission for advising on a police criminal code . He was also instrumental in the negotiations on the Bavarian Concordat of 1817 and the religious edict of June 17, 1818.
