Ludwig von Gaisberg was the son of the Duke of Württemberg Chamberlain and later Chamberlain Karl Friedrich Gaisberg (1749–1792) and Marie Salome née von Müller (1745–1823). In 1819 he married the widow Johanna Rosina von Bandel, née Schultheiß (1781 or 1783–1838), from whom he had two children, including his son Hermann Freiherr von Gaisberg (1824–1905). He had himself entered in the Bavarian nobility register in 1854, which gave him a hereditary seat and vote in the Chamber of Imperial Councilors of the Crown of Bavaria. Nevertheless, the Gaisberg family held onto their Württemberg citizenship even afterwards.
