Paul Hainlein (1626 - 1686) was a German composer and

In 1646, at the instigation of his father Sebastian
Hainlein II, he undertook 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
travelogues in which he described the musical life
there. In particular, he mentioned the composer
Giovanni Rovetta. After his return, he got a job in the
Nuremberg town council and worked alongside his father
as a trumpet maker. At the latest in 1651 he received
the championship title. Instruments from his workshop
can be found today in instrument collections in Bad
Säckingen, Nuremberg, Berlin, Copenhagen and
Brussels.
His main profession must have been that of a musician,
because the marriage book of 1651 only lists musicians
and organists. From 1655 he was organist at Sankt
Egidien , 1658 he received the important position of
organist at Sankt Sebald.
Most of Hainlein's instrumental works have disappeared,
some vocal works can be found in Nuremberg song
collections.
