Kahlenberg was born on January 27, 1870 in Two Rivers, Wisconsin, United States; the son of Albert and Bertha (Albrecht) Kahlenberg.
Kahlenberg attended Milwaukee Normal School (nowadays Wisconsin State College of Milwaukee) for a year. In 1892, he received a Bachelor of Science degree and a Master of Science degree in 1893 from the University of Wisconsin. Also in 1895, Louis was given a Doctor of Philosophy degree from the University of Leipzig.
Kahlenberg began his career as a instructor in pharmaceutical technique and physical chemistry at the University of Wisconsin in 1895. Two years later he took a position of an assistant professor of physical chemistry at the same university. Then in 1901, Louis became a professor of chemistry at the University of Wisconsin and held it until his retirement in 1940 as a professor emeritus. Also he served as a chairman of the chemistry department from 1908 to 1919 at that university.
In addition, he was an a associate editor of the "Journal of Physical Chemistry" for almost twenty-five years and was connected with the "Journal de Chemie Physique" for almost twenty years.

2012Kahlenberg had a deep love for Germany and was an outspoken opponent of America’s entry into World War I.
Kahlenberg was a leading opponent of Arrhenius’ theory of ionization. His opposition was, doubtless, a factor in the ultimate reexamination of solution theory, which led to such modifications of Arrhenius’ theory as those of Edbye and Hückel.
Kahlenberg was a president of the Wisconsin Academy of Sciences, Arts and Letters from 1906 to 1909 and the American Electrochemical Society in 1930-1931. Also he was a member of American Association for the Advancement of Science.
On July 21, 1896 Louis Kahlenberg married Lillian (Heald) Kahlenberg. They had a daughter and two sons.
