The Order of St. Ludwig, also called the Order of Saint Ludwig for Civil Merit, was founded on December 22, 1836 by Duke Charles II Ludwig of Lucca. The award of the Grand Cross or the Commander's Cross was associated with hereditary nobility, and for the other classes, personal nobility. The order was abolished in 1883.

After Duke Charles II took over the government in Parma in 1847 and the Duchy of Lucca fell by treaty to the Duchy of Tuscany, the order was placed in the ranks of the Parmanese orders. Duke Charles III of Parma gave the order new statutes on August 11, 1849 and awarded it in five classes, with the number of members being limited.
Grand Cross – 20 members
Commander – 30 members
Knight 1st Class – 60 members
Knight II Class – 80 members
Holder cross – 100 members
Order decoration
The order's symbol is a lily-end cross and shows a blue-enameled coat of arms with the image of St. Ludwig in golden armor in the middle of the front. From 1849 the coat of arms was supplemented with the inscription DEUS ET DIES all around. On the back you can see three golden Bourbon lilies in the coat of arms.
From 1849 onwards, a crown was attached between the cross and the carrying ring.
Carrying method
The ribbon was initially dark blue with two yellow stripes and was worn on the left chest.
After the statutes were changed, the ribbon was yellow and blue. The Grand Cross was worn with a sash over the right shoulder to the left hip and with a gold enameled breast star. Commanders wore a neck medal and the breast star, knights and holders wore the medal on a ribbon.
