Willibald Leo Lütgendorff+
Sohn von Aug. Wilh. Br. Er war ursprünglich Bratschist; da er jedoch
Geigenmacherssohn war, interessirte er sich für den Geigenbau, und als er in
Hannover Gelegenheit hatte, bei einem Geigenmacher Unterricht zu nehmen,
begann er bald darauf in Düsseldorf, in seiner freien Zeit Geigen zu repariren.
1872 siedelte er nach Dresden über und 1895 nach Lübeck. Er besass theoretische
Kenntnisse und beschäftigte auch zeitweise Gehilfen. Die von diesen
angefertigten Geigen tragen seinen Zettel.
