Wilhelm Ludwig was born as the son of Wolfgang Ludwig (1855–1919) and Josepha Katharina Taumer (1855–1919). He studied zoology, chemistry and mathematics at the universities of Leipzig, Kiel, and Freiburg with professor Johannes Meisenheimer. He earned his doctorate with a thesis about the "Copulation apparatus of stink bugs". By 1930, he was in habilitation at the Berthold Klatt in Halle at Berthold Klatt with works on the "Theory of ciliary movement". At the University of Halle, he worked with the zoologist Wolfgang von Buddenbrock-Hettersdorff [de]. From 1938, onwards he worked in Halle as a professor. At the suggestion of the biologist and geneticist Richard Goldschmidt, his book, "right-left problem in animals and humans," an issue that continued to deal with him arose. The main theme of his research was initially in genetics and selection, particularly in drosophila.
During the Second World War in 1942, he was in the Luftwaffe, but was retracted a little later to the Reich Office for Weatherproof offsets and in 1943 to the Agricultural Meteorological Research Centre in Giessen, where he worked until the war ended. After his release from a POW prison in May 1946, he went back to Halle. In the same year, he became a professor at the Zoological Institute in Mainz, headed by Wolfgang von Buddenbrock, whose collaborator had already been to Halle. In 1949 he became the successor of Erich von Holst at the University of Heidelberg, where he built up the Mathematical and theoretical biology department. In 1950, he published the essay arguing that intrusion was the Fifth Evolutionary Factor, in which he introduced the term annidation.
Ludwig published a large number of essays in German and international journals.
