Trauttner was born as son of Johann Gottfried Trauttner, by professional schoolmaster and his wife Maria in Heusenstamm. There he spent his childhood. In 1724 he moved to Eltville on the Rhine, where he married twice a year. Trauttner's first wife and children died. With his third wife, Margarete, whom he married in Eltville in 1735, he moved to Rüdesheim in 1739 as an officially appointed surveyor and landmaker of the Kurmainzian Rheingau. There he lived and worked until his death in 1782.

The Kurmainzer Trauttner created around 80 cards during his lifetime.

He is known for his maps of the Eberbach monastery (1753) and of the Bingerwald 1773 (TOTH 2010). There are only a few writings and sources about him as well as his legacy. Edit source text Weblinks Edit sourcetext Single-level Edit source text
