After primary and municipal school, he began an apprenticeship in commerce thanks to his father, who left the family, and joined a transport company. His love of drawing, which he had acquired in childhood, never let go, and even his boss in the shipping company advised him to become a painter.Ludwig Bürgel moved to the copper printing press in Vienna, where he learned the trade and began producing works of art on copper plates himself.
