The overview above is drawn from the following published accounts. Read them in the original:
John Dilworth+
DÜRRSCHMIDT, Wilhelm August Born 1863, died 1937 Markneukirchen Germany. Founded a commercial violin making workshop 1887.
Willibald Leo Lütgendorff+
Wenn er auch einzelne Theile seiner Geigen wie fast alle Markneukirchener
von Anderen vorarbeiten lässt, so gehört er doch zu den geschicktesten Meistern
seines Wohnorts. Ein Dürrschmidt war auch in Warschau eine Zeit lang ansässig .
