Willibald Leo Lütgendorff+
In seiner Jugend machte er nur Bögen aus Buchenholz, die als billige Marktwaare Absatz fanden. Später kam er zu Christ. Knopf nach Dresden erlernte dort erst das Bogenmachen von Grund aus, und brachte es darin zu bemerkenswerther Künstlerschaft. Er machte sich dann in Markneukirchen selbstständig und galt als einer der besten Bogenmacher seines Wohnsitzes.
