Danzer's name is popularized in the concepts of a Danzer set, a set of points that touches all large convex sets, and the Danzer cube, an example of a non-shellable triangulation of the cube. It is an example of a power complex, studied by Danzer in the 1980s.[3]

Danzer also found many new tilings.

Ludwig Danzer worked at the Technical University of Dortmund and died on December 3, 2011,[4] after a long illness.

Danzer had at least ten students, the most prominent one being Egon Schulte.[2]
