Willibald Leo Lütgendorff+

Er entstammte nachweislich einer Geigenmacherfamilie und war vielleicht
der Sohn von Gottlieb L. Um 1790 liess er sich in Breslau nieder und begründete
dort sein noch heute bestehendes Geschäft. Seine Arbeit ist gut und erinnert theils
an die Prager und theils an die Vogtländer Schule.
