His baptism record lists his place of birth as Trechel, a village in Pomerania. His Godparents were "cowherd Christian Lüdtke, shoemaker-apprentice Friedrich Lüdtke, and miss Johanna Pahlow." Their exact relationship to Wilhelm and his mother are unknown.

Wilhelm and Friedericke, along with Wilhelm's mother Wilhelmina, and their 3 children, Charles, Bertha and Franz immigrated to the states, leaving Hamburg, Germany aboard the Wieland on 23 March 1881, arriving in the New York harbor on 7 April 1881. Per the ship manifest, their residence prior to departure was Batzwitz, Pommern.

The family arrived in Wisconsin on 19 Apr 1881 per son Frank Luedtke's Petition for Naturalization. The record doesn't specify whether they were in Brown County on that date. However, they were living in Brown County when Wilhelm declared his intention to become a citizen of the United States on 8 Aug 1884. They established a family farm in Morrison Township, where their children, Ida, William, Helena, Clara, Mary, Reinhold, and Mathilda were born.

Trechel is now known as Trzechel, Gmina Nowogard, Goleniow County, West Pomeranium Voivodeship, Poland.
Batzwitz, Pommern is now known as Baszewice, Gmina Gryfice, Gryfice County, West Pomeranium Voivodeship, Poland
Gmina Nowogard = Powiat goleniowski
Gmina Gryfice = Powiat gryficki
West Pomeranian Voivodeship = Zachodniopomorskie
