Ludwig II of Mansbach

Ludwig II of Mansbach (c. 1280–1343) was the forty-ninth abbot of the Imperial Abbey of Hersfeld from 1324 to his death. His rule saw the abbey's continuing decline: in 1328 he began a castle outside the town, and that November was forced by the town and convent to accept guardians and to grant the city self-rule over its crafts.

In 1332 he sold the abbey's rights at Arnstadt to the counts of Schwarzburg, and from 1336 headed the Johannesberg provostry as well. He died in Hersfeld in 1343.
