Ludwig Willroider

Ludwig Willroider (11 January 1845, in Villach – 22 May 1910, in Bernried am Starnberger See) was an Austrian landscape painter and etcher.

There, he received training from Eduard Schleich the Elder and, although he was not accepted into his classes, from Adolf Heinrich Lier.

Originally from Stuttgart, Ebert was closely associated with the animal painters, Christian Mali and Anton Braith, and was one of the first in Germany to promote plein aire painting.

Willroider was also able to take advantage of Ebert's studio spaces, offered to seven local painters, without charge.

His favorite places to paint were in Upper Bavaria, especially around the Starnberger See, also in the Isar valley and Carinthia, in Viktring.
