On 10 September 1970, Gallus entered the Bundestag to replace Ralf Dahrendorf, who had resigned. He was then a member of the Bundestag until 1994. He always entered the Bundestag via the Baden-Württemberg state list. On 16 December 1976, Gallus was appointed Parliamentary State Secretary to the Federal Minister of Food, Agriculture and Forestry in the Federal Government headed by Chancellor Helmut Schmidt. Following the break-up of the social-liberal coalition, he initially resigned from office on 17 September 1982.

Following the election of Helmut Kohl as Federal Chancellor, Gallus was reappointed Parliamentary State Secretary to the Federal Minister of Food, Agriculture and Forestry on 4 October 1982.
