Ludwig von Erlichshausen (1410 – 1467) was the 31st Grand Master of the Teutonic Knights

Their former capital of Marienburg was not the only loss, however, as the Order had to cede other areas in the Second Peace of Thorn in 1466: Pomerelia, Culmerland, Warmia, and a part of Pomesania including Marienwerder (Kwidzyn).
