In 1333, the county was granted city rights by Louis IV the Bavarian, Holy Roman Emperor, as thanks for support during his struggle for the kingdom. Skillful dynastic marriages allowed for the gradual expansion of their domain; conflict often resulted between Rieneck and their neighbours, the Archbishopric of Mainz and the Bishopric of Würzburg.

Sculptures. In 2003, to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the Perth International Arts Festival the Inside Australia" exhibition was commissioned. The artist and Turner Prize winner Antony Gormley installed 51 metal sculptures over an area of on the bed of the lake. Each sculpture represented a local resident of Menzies, derived from the laser scans of the town's residents. The statues were to be removed at the conclusion of the festival  but remain as a tourist exhibition. It is the largest outdoor art gallery on earth. Banded stilts. The lake is used as a breeding site for banded stilts following major flood events. The stilts nest in large close-packed colonies on low islands in ephemeral inland salt lakes such as Lake Eyre, Lake Barlee and Lake Ballard. The last recorded nesting on the lake was in 1995 following the aftermath of Cyclone Bobby. The lake, along with the neighboring Lake Marmion some to the east, has been identified by BirdLife International as a Important Bird Area (IBA), because it has  supported a high proportion of the known banded stilt mass breeding events.
