Willibald Leo Lütgendorff+

Er hat in Mittenwald gelernt, dürfte aber nur wenige neue Geigen gemacht
haben, hauptsächlich beschäftigte er sich mit Ausbesserungen und verlegte sich
zuletzt ganz auf den Instrumenten- und Musikalienhandel. Sein Nachfolger Carl
Gschw. setzte das Geschäft nur als Kaufmann fort.
