Bayerischer Verfassungsorden

Many politicians received the medal, including Franz Götz and Sabine Leutheusser-Schnarrenberger. Members of the Bavarian parliament receive it usually after three legislative periods (formerly 12 years, now 15 years of service), ministers typically after one term (formerly 4 years, now five years). The medal has been awarded also to artists such as ballerina Konstanze Vernon, and clerics such as Joseph Alois Ratzinger, the later pope. 2001 • Kurt Faltlhauser • Ingo Friedrich • Erwin Huber 2002 • Reinhold Bocklet • Josef Deimer • Franz Götz • Karl Freller 2004 • Johannes Friedrich • Christian Ude 2005 • Karl Freller • Charlotte Knobloch • Ernst Pöppel 2006 • Manfred Christ • Heinz Donhauser • Ernst-Ludwig Winnacker 2007 • Otmar Bernhard • Ruth Drexel • Mieczysław Pemper • Gisela Stein • Klaus Dieter Breitschwert • Peter Radtke • Siegfried Schneider (politician) 2008 • Herbert Ettengruber • Ingrid Fickler • Heidi Lück • Marion Schick • Jutta Speidel 2009 • Dieter Dorn • Max Mannheimer • Horst Seehofer • Ludwig Stiegler • Dieter Borchmeyer • Walter Kolbow • Bernd Posselt 2010 • Michael Glos • Theodor W.
