Ludwig Eid (12 September 1865, in Obermoschel – 21 October 1936, in Munich) was a German educator and historian. He was the author of many works on Palatinate and Bavarian history.
In 1883–85 he attended the Catholic teacher training college in Speyer, and later worked as an instructor in Speyer (1888–91) and Blieskastel (1891–95). From 1895 to 1903 he worked as a Präparandenlehrer (doctoral teacher) in Rosenheim,[1] where he founded a history museum (1895) and took charge of the city archives (since 1900).[2] From 1903 to 1909 he was a doctoral teacher in the city of Eichstätt.[1]
He furthered his education at the University of Heidelberg, taking classes in pedagogy, history and German language studies, and from 1909 to 1929, served as director of the Catholic teacher training college in Speyer.[1]
