Bror Ludvig Ulrich

Ludvig Ulrich (born March 6, 1818 - died September 11, 1887) was a Swedish military and governor. Between 1868 and 1878 Ulrich was the governor of the Swedish colony of Saint Barthélemy.

During the period June 1874 to November 5, 1875, he was on leave due to illness; during this period, Alarik Helleday was appointed governor. Following the transfer agreement in Paris on August 10, 1877, Ulrich led the determined referendum on the island and then led the surrender ceremony ("La Rétrocession") on March 16, 1878, when the board was handed over to the Governor of Guadeloupe Marie-Gabriel Couturier. On March 20, 1878, Ulrich left the port of Gustavia on the ship Vanadis and returned to Stockholm where he lived in Adolf Fredrik's ward. He died in 1887 and is buried at Galärvarv Cemetery in Stockholm.
