In 1925 von Lüdinghausen became an authorized signatory in an Amsterdam bank . After that he managed the family's agricultural estate in Lusatia. At the end of 1931 he joined the NSDAP and led the Reichstag election campaign for the NSDAP in Lusatia as the local group leader .
After the handover of power to the National Socialists in 1933, he was hired as a branch manager for the Nuremberg branch of Dresdner Bank , because the bank board wanted to fire the Jewish executives in the “city of the Nazi party rallies” . In 1934 he became chairman of the supervisory board of Victoria Werke AG Nuremberg. In this function, he pushed the Jewish director and member of the board, Franz Ottenstein, son of the company's founder, Max Ottenstein, out of his offices. Then from 1935 he was branch manager in Düsseldorf and Essen, then Dresden and from 1938 in Reichenberg in the regained Sudetenland and there in 1939 area director.

There, in what is now the Reich Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia , he also became deputy chairman of the administrative board of Škoda in Pilsen . In Hungary he became president of the "Ungarische Blechemballagenwerke AG" in Győr .
After 1945 he initially worked in the banking business in Argentina and Paraguay , thereby avoiding denazification . In 1953 he was again branch manager of Hamburger Kreditbank AG in Hamburg and in 1956 of Dresdner Bank AG in Hanover . He became chairman of the supervisory board of " Sichel-Werke AG" and held other offices.
