Portrait of Prince Regent Luitpold of Bavaria (12 March 1821 – 12 December 1912) dedicated to Heinrich Reder, since 1871 Ritter von Reder (* 19 March 1824 in Mellrichstadt; † 17. February 1909 in Munich):

„In Erinnerung an den Tag von Ormes (Orleans) – 11. Oktober 1870. München den 1. März 1906 – dem Tag der 100jährigen Stiftungsfeier des Militär-Max-Josephs-Ordens. Luitpold P v Bayern“

In memory of the day of Ormes (Orleans) – 11 October 1870. Munich 1 March 1906 – the day of the 100 anniversary of the founding of the Military Order of Max Joseph. Luitpold P v Bayern“

During the battle of Orleans-Ormes on 11 October 1870 Reder received the order to place himself on the right flank with two platoons of the 8^th battery of the 3^rd Artillery Regiment in order to fight the enemy artillery. This 1200 meter galopping move happened under heavy fire through the deep trenches of the street “Les-Barres-Orleans”. He was awarded the Military Order of Max Joseph and thus the new title „Ritter von Reder“. In 1908 he became General Major.
