Ludwig Trapp
Ludwig Trapp (* 1865 ; † 1949 ) was a German watchmaker and entrepreneur in Glashütte .
In 1892, after the death of his father-in-law Gottfried Weicholdt, Trapp took over his watchmaking business and expanded it into a watch factory, which later became the Glasütter Feinmechanische Werkstätten . From around 1908 precision pendulum clocks with compensation pendulum and spring escapement and other precision instruments were made there. In 1910 Trapp donated a precision pendulum clock to the Uraniawarte in Glashütte.
Trapp developed the Trapp compensation pendulum and had it patented. From 1895 he was a member of the supervisory board of the German watchmaking school in Glashütte .
