Baade was initially a member of the USPD and, when the party split, joined the moderate wing, which merged with the SPD in 1922. From 1918 to 1919 he was chairman of the Workers' and Soldiers' Council and a city councilor in Essen. From 1930 to 1933 he was a member of the Reichstag as a representative for the Magdeburg constituency.
From August 10 to 23, 1948, Baade took part in the Constitutional Convention on Herrenchiemsee as the representative of the state of Schleswig-Holstein. From 1949 to 1965 he was a member of the German Bundestag, where from 1949 to 1953 he was deputy chairman of the Committee on ERP Questions and from 1953 to 1957 he was deputy chairman of the Subcommittee on Cartel Law of the Committee on Food, Agriculture and Forestry. He was initially elected to the Bundestag via the Schleswig-Holstein state list, but in 1961 he was a directly elected representative for the Kiel constituency.
