The Nazis won six seats in the election and Walter Köhler was selected to serve as their delegation chairman.[6] This granted the party members that could not be arrested due to parliamentary immunity.[7] The Nazi's best Amtsbezirke performance was in Kehl with 32%.[8] 42.2% of the new votes for the Nazis came from Heidelberg, Karlsruhe, Mannheim, Pforzheim, and Weinheim.[9] The Bezirk Tauberbischofsheim, which was 81.8% Catholic,[8] gave 70.3% of its vote to the Centre.[10]
This was the last democratic election in Baden before the Nazi seizure of power.[11] The SDP and Centre coalition government dissolved on 30 November 1932, due to disagreements over a concordat between the Catholic Church and Baden. The Centre and DVP attempted to form a coalition with the Nazis without dissolving the landtag, but the Nazis rejected it and wanted new elections. A Centre and DVP minority government was formed on 10 January 1933.[12]
Robert Heinrich Wagner was appointed Reichkomissar of Baden on 9 March 1933, replacing the position of president. A new landtag consisting of 30 Nazis, 17 Centre, 8 SPD, and 2 DNVP convened once on 9 June 1933 to give the executive legislative powers. Wagner appointed Köhler as president on 6 May.[13]
