He then became a full-time employee of the General Secretariat of the Austrian People's Party and was politically active as a young teacher representative as well as in the context of the Austrian Workers' Union.

On May 21, 1979, after his party colleague Rudolf Zörner left , he made it to the Vienna City Council and Landtag , to which he then belonged from the 12th to the 14th electoral term .

On August 1, 1989, he was awarded the Golden Decoration of Honor for Services to the State of Vienna , and on October 24, 1989, this award was presented. In a vote against the Mariahilfer district chairman Kurt Pint , Petrik prevailed in October 1989 in the election as regional party leader of the Vienna ÖVP.
