BROTHER PAULUS (FORMALLY LUDWIG VON LOE)

As the sixth child of seven of Count Max von Loe (born on 20 June 1817) and the 18 year younger Countess Therese von Loe, (born on 13 December 1835) Ludwig was born on 31 March 1866.

As a Dominican monk he took on the name of Paulus, under which he reached a certain prominence.

Brother Paulus lived in / around Munich and did not only become famous though his teaching activity for the order but also due to his being exceptionally “scatterbrained”: As an example it can be mentioned that he finally found a long-lost slipper in the library – well-hidden as a bookmark in a book.

Apart from Paulus, his sister Mathilde also entered the Dominican order and was cofounder of a community which settled in Wetten.
