In 1897, Gustav Trunk married Emma Eppel in Baden-Baden. He studied law in Berlin and Heidelberg, graduating in 1900. Heavily influenced by his model, Franz Xavier Lenders, Trunk joined the Centre Party.
Early political career and first term (1920-21)
He served on the city council of Karlsruhe from 1911 until 1919. Upon the creation of the Republic of Baden, he was appointed Minister for Food, a position in which he served until 1919, when he became Minister for Justice. On 14 August 1920 the Centre party defeated the Social Democratic Party of Germany in the Baden elections and Trunk became State President, succeeding the centre-leftist Anton Geiss. By 1921, however, the left wing regained much of its popularity, and Trunk's party was defeated by the left-wing liberal German Democratic Party.
