    The Heinersreuth estate near Presseck, surrounding the former Wildenstein Castle, was a gift from the Bavarian King Maximilian I Joseph to his long-time finance minister, Maximilian Emanuel von Lerchenfeld, in 1823. Maximilian I thus honored his commitment to the adoption of a Bavarian constitution and his keeping of his promise that this would happen even before the German Empire had a constitution.

    In 1818, Bavaria became a constitutional monarchy with the new constitution, which limited the king's power through the Estates Assembly. It took another 53 years until Bismarck's Imperial Constitution for all of Germany was adopted.
