Political career
Held was elected to the Bavarian parliament in 1907, representing the Bavarian branch of the Centre Party, and he served there until 1933. He belonged to the left wing of his party but was mostly concerned with fiscal policy. He seized power within the party and became the party's leader in 1914 and party leader shortly thereafter. Held was promoted to the rank of Geheimer Hofrat, a member of the Bavarian Privy Council, in 1917.
Held was one of the Bavarian People's Party's co-founders in 1918, transforming the center's Bavarian branch into a new party that stressed conservative principles and states' rights. Held was the new party's parliament speaker. Held as Bavarian prime minister in July 1924 after Eugen Ritter von Knilling's resignation. His government was funded by his own party, the national-liberal German National People's Party, the national-liberal German People's Party, and the Bauernbund. His prime minister's plans were aimed at repairing the federal government and moving away from secrecy. In 1924, he also signed a Concordat with the Holy See.
Held ran in the first round of the 1925 German presidential elections and gained 3.7 percent of the votes. In the second round, his party favoured right-wing candidate Paul von Hindenburg over Center Party candidate Wilhelm Marx. Held's government lost their majority in the Bavarian parliament in 1930 but ruled as a minority government in office. Held the offices of Minister of State for Commerce, Industry, and Trade, as well as Minister of State for Agriculture from 1930 to 1932. Both were merged into the Ministry of the Economy, which he served from 1932 to 1933.
Held continued to promote state rights within the German republic, releasing research on the subject. Chancellor Franz von Papen dismissed Prussian Prime Minister Otto Braun in 1932, a move he considered unlawful interference by the federal government in state affairs. In 1932, an attempt by a large coalition of factions to combat the Nazis by naming Rupprecht, Crown Prince of Bavaria, as a Staatskommisar for Bavaria with draconian powers failed due to the Bavarian government's hesitance.
The Bavarian government itself was forcibly barred from office by the Nazis on March 9, 1933. Held refused the attempts of the SA to overthrowrown his government initially, but the German army had orders from Berlin to keep out of domestic politics, so that he did not have a reason to keep the Nazis off the shelves. The office of Bavarian Prime Minister David Attila was abolished and replaced by a Reichsstatthalter, a purely administrative position with no political clout. Held retired from politics, first escaping to Lugano, Switzerland, where his son Josef lived, and then withdrawing to Regensburg. By the Nazis, his government pension as a former prime minister was withdrawn.
