Richard Ludwig worked like his brother Erich as a rugby player at the Frankfurt soccer club . At the 1900 Olympic Games in Paris, this club provided a rugby team expanded by two from Stuttgart, which played a game against the French selection on October 14, 1900 and lost 27:17. Because the IOC officially added the competition to the program of the 1900 Summer Olympics , the members of the rugby team are ranked second in the Olympic Games . Ludwig played on November 4th, 1900 in the first rugby selection game north against south on the Kassel Carls-Aue in the south selection, the north selection won 11: 3.

Richard Ludwig was also active as a track and field athlete in sprint and high jump, but not as successful there as his brother.
