Louis Lowenthal (Löwenthal, Lowendall, Lowendahl) (born 1836) is a luthier. He learned violin and bow making in Leipzig and Berlin. He founded his violin manufacturing business in Berlin, expanded into Dresden and eventually opened an American branch.[1] [2]That's where he anglicized his name to Lowendall.

Different grades of his instruments were sold in Sears Roebuck and Montgomery Ward catalogs in the early 1900s.
