He was married to Catharina Hoffmeister, a granddaughter of the Brandenburg Chancellor Johann Weinlob , who decisively shaped the reorganization of church relations after the Reformation in Brandenburg, both legally and administratively.
  • Lucas Luidtke died when his son Germanus Luidtke jr. (1502–1672) was just 4 years old. His grandfather, Matthäus Ludecus, and his stepfather, the mayor of Stendal, Johann Salzwedel , provided for upbringing and studying. Germanus Luidtke became mayor of Stendal.
