After passing the state law examination and subsequent legal traineeship, von Baudissin worked from 1907 to 1920 as district administrator for the Neustadt district ( West Prussia province ). In 1920 he was appointed Reich and Prussian State Commissioner for the Allenstein voting area , where a referendum was also to take place in the execution of the Versailles Treaty on the whereabouts of West Prussia to the right of the Vistula . Here he made great contributions to the positive result of the vote in the German sense and the fact that the Marienwerder district remained in Germany. In 1920 he was appointed regional president of West Prussia with his official seat in Marienwerder . In 1922 he had to give up his post because of his conservative and anti-republican stance and was replaced by the former district administrator of Lublinitz , Roland Brauweiler . In 1923 he took over the management of the Reich Association of Agricultural Employers. In 1925 he was appointed director of the Prussian Main Chamber of Agriculture , and in the same year he also joined the board of directors of the Reichsanstalt für Arbeitsvermittlung und Arbeitslosenversicherung . In 1927 he was also given the management of the German Agriculture Council. In 1933 he was ousted from all offices by the National Socialists - for the second time.

He was married to Elise Anna von Borcke (* August 20, 1885, † October 21, 1950). Their son was the general and peace researcher Wolf Graf von Baudissin (1907-1993).
