Ludwig Bartning was born the son of the Karlsruhe businessman Otto Bartning (1837–1911) and his wife Jenny, b. Doll, a daughter of the Protestant theologian Karl Wilhelm Doll . Bartning became a pupil of Paul Schultze-Naumburg in 1892 and was at the private school of Ludwig Schmid-Reutte and Friedrich Fehr in Munich from 1895 to 1898 . From 1898 to 1901 he stayed in Rome. Initially a landscape painter, he exhibited in the Munich Secession in 1899 , and in the following years in the Berlin Secession exhibitions .

In 1901 he moved to Berlin, where he built a house in Dahlem in 1914 . In 1901 his former teacher Paul Schultze-Naumburg, who had lived in Berlin since 1897, moved to Saaleck near Bad Kösen . Here he founded the Saalecker Werkstätten GMBH in 1904 , in which Ludwig Bartning was involved in the artistic direction in the first few years. From 1913 he taught, interrupted by military service in the First World War, at the educational institute of the State Museum of Applied Arts. At the beginning of the 1920s he became a professor at the United State Schools for Free and Applied Arts in Berlin-Charlottenburg. As a painter and also as a graphic artist, he initially dealt primarily with landscapes, but later mainly with floral motifs and also created illustrations for botany books.

In addition to his job, Ludwig Bartning was also active in church work, so he had been church master of the Jesus Christ Church in Dahlem from 1923 and was here with Martin Niemöller . Bartning was a member of the Reich Chamber of Fine Arts in Berlin and was listed by Reich Propaganda Minister Goebbels as an important painter of the Nazi state on the God -gifted list. Bartning died in December 1956 and was buried in the St.-Annen-Kirchhof in Berlin.

Ludwig Bartning was married to Gertrud Bartning Neidhardt, the couple had three children: the daughters Ursula Bartning (1905–1990) and Esther Niedermeier Bartning (1906–1987) and their son Carl Otto Bartning (1909–1983). All three were also artistically active. Ludwig Bartning's brothers were the architect Otto Bartning (1883–1959) and the lawyer and criminal defense attorney Adolf Bartning (1874–1929). In addition to his job, Adolf Bartning did research on Kaspar Hauser .
