Paul Hainlein
Paul Hainlein (born April 11, 1626 in Nuremberg ; † August 6, 1686 there ) was a German composer and trumpet maker of the Baroque era.
Live and act
Paul Hainlein came from a respected Nuremberg family of instrument makers. At the age of twelve he called himself Studiosus musicus and composed funeral music. In 1646, at the instigation of his father Sebastian Hainlein II, he went on a study trip that took him to Linz and Munich. A year later, in 1647 and 1648, he traveled to Northern Italy, from there he wrote several travel reports in which he described the musical life there. He mentioned the composer Giovanni Rovetta by name . After his return he got a job in the Nuremberg council music and worked alongside his father as a trumpet maker. In 1651 at the latest he received the master's title. Instruments from his workshop can now be found in instrument collections in Bad Säckingen, Nuremberg, Berlin, Copenhagen and Brussels.
His main occupation must have been that of a musician, because the marriage book of 1651 only mentions musician and organist. From 1655 he was organist at Sankt Egidien , in 1658 he was given the important position of organist at Sankt Sebald .
