Ludwig W. Kuhlenbeck (25 April 1857 – 13 May 1920) was a German jurist.

Biography

Ludwig Kuhlenbeck was born in Osnabrück, the son of master locksmith Rudolf Kuhlenbeck and his wife (née Kreyenhagen). After attending high school in his native city of Osnabrück, Kuhlenbeck studied at the universities of Göttingen, Tübingen and Berlin. He worked as a lawyer in Göttingen, Osnabrück, Halle and Jena. From 1902 to 1908 he taught as a professor of German law in Lausanne. He translated Giordano Bruno and was a member of the Giordano Bruno League founded in Berlin in 1900.

Kuhlenbeck was a representative of the Gobineau-oriented racial thought. In June 1905, for example, he gave an introductory lecture on "The Political Results of Modern Racial Research" at the Pan-German League in Worms.[1]

Kuhlenbeck married Helene Ayrer in 1886. The marriage produced a daughter and two sons. Among them was Hartwig Kuhlenbeck, a physician who emigrated to the United States in 1933.
