Peter Ludwigs

Initially, he studied sculpture at the Werkkunstschule Aachen [de] (a Kunstgewerbeschule) and the Académie Royale des Beaux-Arts in Brussels.

Together with Karl Schwesig [de] and Gert Heinrich Wollheim, he published cartoons and graphics in opposition to militarism and supporting "class justice".

He also became part of a group of Anti-fascist artists in Düsseldorf, who offered each other mutual financial support and protection, centered around the painter, Otto Pankok.

In February, 1943, he was arrested again and sent to Düsseldorf Prison [de], where he was assigned to a labor gang doing heavy road-clearing work.

[3] In 1962, a monument was erected in the Golzheimer Friedhof [de], commemorating Ludwigs, Julo Levin and Franz Monjau.
