Countess of Schwarzburg, and second daugh­ter of Count Lud­wig Gün­ther I, Lud­ä­mil­ia was a cous­in of hymn­ist Ämil­ie Ju­li­a­ne, with whom she was ed­u­cat­ed. In 1665 she went with her mo­ther to the dow­ag­er cas­tle at Frie­dens­burg, near Leu­ten­burg. Af­ter her mo­ther’s death in 1670, she re­turned to Ru­dol­stadt, where, in 1671, she was for­mal­ly be­trothed to Count Christ­ian Wil­helm of Schwarz­burg-Son­ders­haus­en. At the time, mea­sles was rag­ing in the dis­trict, and her eld­est sis­ter, So­phie Ju­li­ane, caught the di­sease. By at­tending her, Lud­ä­mil­ia and her young­est sister, Christ­i­ane Mag­da­le­ne, were al­so in­fect­ed and died.
