Ludwig Wilhelm (21 June 1831 – 6 November 1920) was a Duke in Bavaria and official head of the ducal branch of the House of Wittelsbach.

[2][5] Louis married a second time to ballet prima donna Antonie Barth, on November 19, 1892[5][6] in Munich.

[8] In 1906, the duke had declared his intention to marry Fraulein Tordek, a prima donna of the Munich royal opera house.

[8] They divorced in July 1913 after Frau Bartolf gave birth to a daughter, Hélène[10] that the duke claimed was not his child.

[2][11] In November 1920, Ludwig died[1] of a cardiac arrest-induced stroke and is buried in Munich's Ostfriedhof.
