As leader of the largest party in the Bavarian Landtag Hertling was appointed Bavarian Prime Minister in 1912 by Luitpold, Prince Regent of Bavaria. Following the outbreak of World War I Hertling supported the policy of Chancellor Theobald von Bethmann Hollweg but rejected to become his successor. Hertling became German Chancellor and Prime Minister of Prussia only after the fall of Georg Michaelis in 1917 but was incapable of meeting the crisis during the final stage of the war. Due to his age and conservatism he was unable to overcome the power of the military high command, led by Paul von Hindenburg and Erich Ludendorff, despite having been a deputy to the Reichstag and a leader of the Centre Party. He was required to resign his seat when he took office under the Kaiser. A Landtag (Diet) is a representative assembly or parliament in German speaking countries with some legislative authority. ...

Georg, Count Von Hertling - LoveToKnow 1911 (432 words)
Hertling's son, an officer who was attached to him as aide-de-camp, has, in a book possessing both political interest and real literary merit, Ein Jahr in der Reichskanzlei (1919), given an account of the difficulties which the Chancellor experienced in his dealings with the Emperor and with Ludendorff.
It fell to Hertling's lot, moreover, to endeavour to persuade the reactionary Prussian Chamber and the Prussian Herrenhaus to pass the bill which, in fulfilment of the Emperor's belated proclamations, had been introduced for the equalization of the Prussian franchise.
The failure of the spring and summer offensives of 1918 destroyed Hertling's hope that he might eventually be able to negotiate with the Allied and Associated Powers on anything like equal terms.
Hertling, Georg Friedrich von - Archontology.org (320 words)
As a representative of the Catholic Center Party, Hertling was a deputy of the Reichstag in 1875-1890.
In July 1917, Hertling hesitated to accept the nomination to the office of Reich Chancellor vacated with the resignation of Theobald von Bethmann Hollweg, but when the short-lived cabinet of Georg Michaelis fell in October, Hertling agreed to replace him as head of government and president of the Prussian state ministry.
The introduction of a new parliamentary system in the German Reich announced by the Emperor Wilhelm II on 30 Sep 1918 was followed by the resignation of Hertling, who died in three months.
