São Ludgero, Municipality in Santa Catarina, Brazil.
São Ludgero extends across 113 square kilometers of land in southern Santa Catarina, maintaining an elevation of 50 meters above sea level.
German settlers from the Münster region, particularly from Heek, established the community in 1873 after leaving Colônia Teresópolis due to soil fertility issues.
The municipality received its name from a Dutch saint popular in Westphalia, known for performing a miracle involving geese that were destroying crops.
The local economy centers on agriculture, livestock farming, and industrial activities, with substantial production of poultry, dairy cattle, corn, and vegetables.
Until the 1930s, German remained the primary language for education and religious services, changing to Portuguese during World War II.
