Willibald Leo Lütgendorff+
Er schrieb seinen Namen, der von der Achen, einem Nebenfluss der Isar abgeleitet scheint, zeitweilig auch Aachner, und ist ein weniger hervorragender Geigenbauer, als viele seiner Mittenwalder Zeitgenossen. Er gehört jedoch zu denen, die den Übergang vom Stainermodell zu den Cremoneser Modellen anbahnen halfen.
