Willibald Leo Lütgendorff+
Geschickter Musikinstrumentenmacher, der Geigen, Guitarren und Mandolinen machte, deren Ton gelobt wird, die aber der Billigkeit halber meist sehr einfach ausgeführt sind; so fehlt den meisten seiner Geigen die Einlage am Rand. Eine Lyra von ihm besitzt C. Claudius in Malmö.
