The policy was implemented because of the overwhelming need of the fledgling Government of the newly formed German Republic to retain the support of the influential Junker owners of these estates. This policy produced a major scandal in Germany in the late 1930's, which involved the President of the Republic, General von Hindenburg , who had been presented with such an estate in East Prussia at Neudeck .
