Willibald Leo Lütgendorff+
Er wohnte im Hause No. 25 und war seit 1777 mit Viktoria Klaas, seit 1782 mit M. Anna Fichtl verheirathet. Er scheint in Mittenwald seine letzte Ausbildung erhalten zu haben, wofür sowohl der Umstand spricht, dass seine Geigen nach Joseph Klotz gemacht sind, als auch, dass seine Frau wahrscheinlich eine Mittenwalderin war. Er bevorzugte eine flache Wölbung.
