From 1994, Kurth served as State Secretary to the successive State Ministers of Finance Elmar Pieroth (1994–1996) and Annette Fugmann-Heesing (1996–1999) in the government of Mayor Eberhard Diepgen (CDU). In 2009 he ran for the CDU in Cologne for the office of mayor. From 2001 until 2009, Kurth was a member of the board of Alba Group in Berlin.
Kurth was president of the influential "Federal Association of the German Waste Management, Water and Raw Materials Industry" (BDE). He was scheduled to step down from the office of association president at the end of January 2024. However, two weeks ago the association announced that it had separated from Kurth with immediate effect. Right-wing extremism, racism or anti-Semitism have no place in the BDE, the statement said.
In October 2023, Kurth resigned from the CDU. He retained his membership in the “Mittelstandsunion”.
