Erich Ludwig worked like his brother Richard as a rugby player at the Frankfurt soccer club . At the 1900 Olympic Games in Paris, this club provided a rugby team expanded by two from Stuttgart, which played a game against the French selection on October 14, 1900 and lost 27:17. Because the IOC officially added the competition to the program of the 1900 Summer Olympics , the members of the rugby team are ranked second in the Olympic Games . Ludwig played on November 4th, 1900 in the first rugby selection game north against south on the Kassel Carls-Aue in the south selection, the north selection won 11: 3.

At the German athletics championships in 1900 , Erich Ludwig finished second over 100 meters behind Max Wartenberg . Later Erich Ludwig was active in the DFV 1878 Hanover . In 1903 Erich Ludwig won the 100 meter championship.

In 1897 Ludwig ran the 100 meters in 10.6 seconds in Frankfurt am Main; this time would have been the German record until 1911, but is not on the record list. In the German record lists, however, there are 55.0 seconds over 400 meters from 1897.
