Asker: How exactly would that fit into the sentence do you think. I'm not really sure that the usual translations such as "claim, demand" etc are appropriate.

(aus) absolutem Anspruch
(from the) desire for absolute authority


Explanation:
In this case, I would rearrange the sentence, e.g., "The palace [...] was built of the desire for absolute authority and [...] sandstone."

It seems that Christian Ludwig II had not yet consolidated his power, but that he was trying (he had problems with those pesky knights):

"Im Jahr 1748 beschloss Christian Ludwig II. zusammen mit Adolf Friedrich III. die Auflösung des mecklenburgischen Gesamtstaates. Dies scheiterte jedoch am erbitterten Widerstand der Ritterschaft. Christian II. Ludwig schloss dann 1755 mit den Ständen den Landesgrundgesetzlichen Erbvergleich ab. Dieser Erbvergleich führte zur Festigung der Macht der mecklenburgischen Ritterschaft und konservierte die Rückständigkeit des Landes bis zum Ende der Monarchie in Mecklenburg-Schwerin (1918)." (See http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christian_Ludwig_II._(Mecklenbu... .)

agree  Rolf Buesken (X): Inclined to agree with this one. It is the time of 'absolutism' where rulers want or have absolute authority.
