Ludwig Darmstaedter (9 August 1846 – 18 October 1927) was a German chemist and historian of science.

From 1865 he studied chemistry under

glycerin extraction. Later on in his career, he conducted investigations on the composition and synthesis of lanolin.[1]

His interest in the historical development of chemistry inspired him to compile an extensive collection of manuscripts of scientists ("Dokumentensammlung Darmstaedter") in the

Prussian State Library at Berlin.[1] From 1917 onwards, Darmstaedter financed Wilhelm Doegen's efforts to record speech samples of persons of public interest.[2] Since 1952 the Paul Ehrlich and Ludwig Darmstaedter Prize has been awarded in Germany for outstanding contributions in the field of medicine.[3]
