Prince Ludwig of Bavaria ( _de. Ludwig Karl Maria Anton Joseph Prinz von Bayern) (b. June 22, 1913) is a member of the Bavarian Royal House of Wittelsbach.
Early life
Prince Ludwig was born at Schloss Nymphenburg, Munich, Bavaria. He is the eldest son of Prince Franz of Bavaria and his wife Princess Isabella Antonie of Croÿ. After graduating from the Maximilian-gymnasium (located in Schwabing, Munich), Ludwig studied Forestry at a university in Hungary. In 1939, as most young German men of his age, the Prince was drafted to the military, serving as a Gebirgsjäger. However, his career in the German Army was short lived. In early 1941, Ludwig was relieved from all combat duties as a result of the so called "Prinzenerlass" and declared unfit for military service. He spent the rest of the war in exile in Hungary.
Marriage
On July 19, 1950 Prince Ludwig married his first cousin Princess Irmingard of Bavaria, the daughter of Crown Prince Rupprecht of Bavaria and Princess Antonia of Luxembourg. The civil wedding took place at Leutstetten and the religious ceremony followed a day later at the Schloss Nymphenburg in Munich. The couple had three children:
* Prince Luitpold of Bavaria (b. 1951)
* Princess Irmingard Maria of Bavaria (1953 - 1953)
* Princess Philippa of Bavaria (1954 - 1954)
Later life
After the death of Crown Prince Rupprecht of Bavaria in 1955, Prince Ludwig and his wife moved into Schloss Leutstetten where they continue to live today. The prince is a Grand Prior of the Bavarian Order of Saint George, Knight of the Order of Saint Hubert and since 1960 a Knight of the Order of the Golden Fleece.
