Willibald Leo Lütgendorff+
Er kam um 1855 aus Mirecourt nach Genf, nachdem er vorher eine Zeit
lang bei den Brüdern Silvestre in Lyon gearbeitet hatte. Er gab den Geigenbau
bald auf und beschränkte sich mehr und mehr auf den Verkauf von Mirecourter
Fabrikwaaren, die er oft mit seinem Zettel versah. Auch als Reparateur
war er ohne Bedeutung.
