Willibald Leo Lütgendorff+
Schüler von Adolf Monnig. Als Gehilfe kam er zu Thomas Zach in Wien,
bei dem er fünf Jahre lang blieb. Hier schloss er erst seine eigentliche künstlerische
Ausbildung ab, so dass er sich mit Recht als einen Schüler Zach’s betrachten
kann. Er liess sich hierauf in Debreczin als Meister nieder und blieb
sechs Jahre dort; 1893 ging er zunächst nach Budapest und dann nach Wien.
wo er seinen bleibenden Wohnsitz aufschlug. Er ist ein geschickter Geigenmacher
und erhielt 1898 auf der Jubiläums-Ausstellung eine Medaille.
