Paul Peuerl (1570-1625) was probably born in Nьrnberg around 1570. He came as a trained organist and organbuilder to Austria: in 1602 to Horn and then in 1609 to Steyr, to the Protestant school church. In 1624 this church had to be turned over to the Catholics, so that Peuerl lost his job. He probably died in 1625, place of death unknown.
