Heinrich Traxdorf (Drassdorf,Drossdorf) (dates of birth and death unknown) was an earlyGermanorgan builder. He was born inMainz, probably in the beginning of the 15th century. During the 1440s he built three organs inNuremberg (the large organ ofSt. Sebaldus Church, destroyed in 1945, and two small organs for theFrauenkirche) and one inSalzburg, forSt. Peter's abbey church. Traxdorf was a progressive builder, one of the first to depart from thegothic organ model by dividing theBlockwerk into independent divisions, dividing the chests and separating the frontstops into Flute (Principal) and Octave. The instruments had a single manual andpedal, whose ranges were B to d" (manual) and A to b (pedal).
