Life

School career

In his youth Louis Ludloff got the favor of Hugo August Friedrich Schwartz by running errands , who recommended him for further tasks. From 1824, like his brother Johann Rudolf Friedrich Ludloff (1800–1839) , he was allowed to attend the Rudolstadt grammar school in 1822 and graduated with a top grade . During the time in Rudolstadt, despite his young age, he worked as an assistant teacher.

Administrative activity in Niederfüllbach

From 1826 to 1829 he was administrator of the Niederfüllbach estate for his sick brother Rudolf . During this time he got to know Christian von Stockmar through this administrative activity . In 1828 he was offered a managerial position, which he declined in consultation with von Stockmar. Louis Ludloff was offered a job with Prince Leopold (later the first King of Belgium) in England , also with the support of his brother Rudolf and through von Stockmar . At the request of the prince, he only had to learn English and Italian.

Activities abroad

At the end of 1829 he started work in England. He had delivered various letters to London from the Duchess of Kent . He became an assistant in the court marshal of the Prince Leopold in London and was responsible for the entire accounting of the prince. With Prince Leopold's accession to the throne, Louis Ludloff sent dispatches from London to Brussels. In 1832 he noted 47 trips.

In London he carried out diplomatic services and duties for the Belgian ambassador van de Weyer and Goblet d'Alviella . He got in contact with Sir Robert William Gardiner , Sir Henry John Seton and Sir Edward Kust, among others .

In 1833 Ludloff was earmarked for the position of archivist in the cabinet of the King of Belgium in Brussels , which he declined again after consulting von Stockmar. Ludloff wanted von Stockmar to take over the management of his Obersiemau estate and his shops in Coburg.

Further administrative activities

He was dismissed from employment with the King of Belgium in 1833 with a pension, which was paid until the king's death in 1865. He was then from 1834 to the end of 1866 tenant of the manor Obersiemau of Christian Friedrich von Stockmar . He had to leave Obersiemau because von Stockmar's son wanted to manage the estate himself. From 1850 to 1852 he was also the owner of Weißenbrunn Palace .

Louis Ludloff moved from Obersiemau to Coburg and immediately fell ill with pneumonia in 1867, from which he no longer recovered.

He was a member of the German agricultural association and arable schools .

Louis Ludloff was married to Margaretha Friederike, née Eichhorn (1820–1894, daughter of the porcelain factory owner (approx. 1818–1874 as HK Eichhorn ) Heinrich Eichhorn from Schney ), and father of Rudolf Friedrich Ludloff and Richard Ludloff .

Trivia

His son Otto had a fatal accident in 1870 while on a high mountain tour when he fell from the Siegertswand at Königssee . His wife searched desperately for a sign of life through magazine advertisements and suspected him to be a volunteer on the battlefields in France. It was not until 1871 that Otto's human remains were found.

The house of Louis Ludloff's widow, built in 1878, is located at Albertsplatz 6 in Coburg .
