The administration of his agricultural property meant that he also dealt with questions of agricultural policy in general, which led to his being appointed to the Prussian mansion for life in 1905 as a representative of the landowners in East Thuringia , although he was appointed to it because of the Revolution of 1918 conditional abolition of this Prussian constitutional body belonged only until 1918, see list of members of the Prussian manor house .
