'''Saint Ludolf of Ratzeburg''' (died 29 March 1250), also known as '''Ludolph''', was a 13th-century German bishop of the Premonstratensian Order (Norbertines) who served as the first Prince-Bishop of Ratzeburg and is venerated as a martyr for the freedom of the Church after his exile and death amid conflicts with secular powers.<ref>{{Cite web |title=St. Ludolf of Ratzeburg |url=https://www.catholic.org/saints/saint.php?saint_id=6041 |website=Catholic Online |access-date=2025-11-07}}</ref> According to historical records from the Premonstratensian annals and Mecklenburg chronicles, Ludolf, a canon at Ratzeburg Cathedral, was elected bishop in 1236 and consecrated the following year, undertaking reforms including the foundation of the Benedictine convent of Rehna in 1237, which emphasized strict observance and education for noblewomen.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Ludolph of Ratzeburg |url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ludolph_of_Ratzeburg |website=Wikipedia |access-date=2025-11-07}}</ref> His tenure involved defending ecclesiastical liberties against Duke Albert I of Saxony-Lauenburg, leading to imprisonment and exile in 1247; he died in obscurity on 29 March 1250, possibly from hardships endured, though martyrdom status is traditionally ascribed rather than judicial execution.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Saint of the Day – 29 March – St Ludolf of Ratzeburg O.Praem.
