John Dilworth+

BERG, Olof Worked circa. 1835 Kaliningrad Russia. Swedish-born Norwegian Consul at Kaliningrad (Königsberg) in 1835. Not a craftsman himself, his innovative but unsuccessful ideas in violin construction were put into practice on his behalf by workmen in Luby (Schönbach).

Willibald Leo Lütgendorff+

Ein schwedisch-norwegischer Consul, der allerlei neue Erfindungen, die er
machte, an Geigen anbringen Hess. Er selbst machte nichts und Hess seine
Ideen meist in Schönbach ausfuhren. Dass er mit seinen Erfindungen keinen
Erfolg erzielte, sei nur nebenbei erwähnt.
