"Maximilian II - King of Bavaria" is written on the granite base of the statue for the ruler from the House of Wittelsbach, who ruled Bavaria from 1848 to 1864. After his sudden death, his son Ludwig II, the "fairytale king" and Wagner fan, came to the throne. The statue is not cast from solid metal, but is a so-called electroformed sculpture. It was made by electroforming a model in the sculpture. Due to their thin walls, electroformed sculptures are comparatively light, but nevertheless stable.

King Maximilian II resigned just as unexpectedly as he came to power. He died in March 1864 after a short illness at the age of 52.
