Willibald Leo Lütgendorff+

Wahrscheinlich ein Sohn von Thomas und Enkel von Sebastian Rauch, jedoch nicht identisch mit dem später in Leitmeritz ansässigen Seb. Rauch. Auch er hatte ein eigenes, hochgewölbtes Modell und arbeitete nicht schlecht; nur nahm er das Holz meist viel zu dünn. Sein Lack ist fast ganz schwarz.
