Adolf von Tecklenburg, also known as Adolf Mukasa Ludigo, was a Catholic martyr from the Tooro region of Uganda. Born around 1861, he was originally named Tibeyalirwa before changing his name to Ludigo after studying Christianity. He served as a page in the court of King Mwanga II, where he was responsible for managing the royal gardens. His religious conversion led to conflict with the king, resulting in his death during a period of intense persecution of Christian converts.
