Lüdke was the second oldest son of the theologian, writer and deacon at the Nikolaikirche in Berlin Friedrich Germanus Lüdke (1730–1792) and his wife Charlotte Luise Weissenberg, whom he married in 1763 and who died before 1791.

Direct ancestors are the Havelsberg canon Matthäus Ludecus and the electoral Brandenburg chancellor Johann Weinlob .

Youth, school and vocational training

When his father died in 1892, Lüdke and his five other underage siblings were orphans. Due to his later professional activity, one must assume that he completed an agricultural training.

Professional background

Brunn manor around 1860, Alexander Duncker collection

He began his professional activity in Brunn near Neustadt / Dosse. In the above mentioned death record of the first wife from 1805, the husband (Ludken) is referred to as the royal bailiff. Lüdke was the tenant of the manor Brunn, which is located in the current municipality of Wusterhausen / Dosse . This property belonged to Lieutenant General Friedrich Gisbert Wilhelm von Romberg (1729–1809) and then to his son Colonel Conrad von Romberg (1783–1833), whose families lived in the castle. The property was leased because the owners were officers. From the church book of the municipality of Brunn it can be seen that a total of seven children were born in Brunn during the second marriage between 1807 and 1817.

In the autumn of 1806, French troops under Napoleon Bonaparte occupied Prussia. The occupation lasted until 1812. During this time Lüdke worked as a tenant in Brunn. In an official announcement he is referred to as the bailiff Lüdecke zu Brunn. He had participated in a donation for the sick and wounded patriotic warriors to the provincial hospital treasury.

In the years 1819 and 1821 the children Rudolph Hermann Luetke and Emma Rosalie Luedke were baptized in the Paul Gerhardt Church in Lübben in what is now the Dahme-Spreewald district in Lower Lusatia . You were obviously born in Waldow near Lübben , which had become Prussian in 1815. At that time Lüdke was working there as the “bailiff on Waldow”.

Lüdke had probably acquired the Waldow manor after the birth of his son Julius Heinrich Lüdke , who was born in Brunn in 1817 , and was also active as a bailiff on Waldow. In the announcement he is referred to as the “Amtmann auf Waldau”. But this is obviously the place "Waldow", as this place is near Lübben. The estate is described in the book by Houwald. In the book Lüdke is named as the owner.

Lüdke then sold the estate to the Count of Oriola after a short time in 1822 because he took over the lease of the state domain in Altlandsberg. In 1826 he was named "Heir and judge on Waldow".

It was obviously about Joaquim von Oriola , who worked as the Portuguese envoy at the Prussian court, then became naturalized in Prussia and on June 6, 1822 had received the patent for the Prussian count status from the Prussian king .

Altlandsberg on the Urmes table sheet 3448 Altlandsberg from 1839. The official building north of the actual city center is marked A.

From 1823 took Lüdke by assignment of the bailiff Lucke, the General tenancy respect of the office Alt-Landsberg related Royal Domain Vorwerk Alt-Landsberg with the immediately adjacent thereto minor outworks Wolf Hagen and the new plant, together with a brewery and distillery and several family apartments. The domain tenant had 2615 M arable land, 45 M gardens and pastures, 260 M meadows and 56 M wood, a total of 2977 M for use. This assignment was approved "higher place" with the stipulation that Lüdke was appointed as "rent and police officer and to render the court depository". In the announcement Lüdke was referred to as "former landowner". In 1833 the royal government announced that the Alt-Landsberg domain should be sold. However, this sale did not take place. On February 27, 1833 it was announced that the domain should be leased by way of submission .

Lüdke signed the lease for the period from 1833 to 1863. The decisive factor for the new contract was that Lüdke "raised the domain properties to an excellent, previously unseen level of culture and profitability".

Lüdke died in 1834 and was buried in a hereditary funeral. On the basis of a ministerial rescript of October 10, 1835, the widow, with the assistance of her eldest son Gustav Germanus Lüdke, was given the lease property; but in 1836 a special contract was concluded with both of them for the specified time. After the mother's death in 1838, her son, Gustav Lüdke, held the office alone until 1863. In the time between the deaths of both spouses, the two tenants were called "Lüdckesche Erben".
