Georg Schweikard of Gemmingen

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Georg Schweikard von Gemmingen (* 1611 ; † March 19, 1681 ) was the landlord in Presteneck .

Life

Georg came from the Bürg-Presteneck branch of the Barons of Gemmingen and was a son of the Würzburg bailiff Eberhard von Gemmingen († 1635) and Maria Agatha von Venningen. From the inheritance of his father he got Presteneck, where he was plundered in the Thirty Years War and suffered great damage. In 1644 he bought the mill in Degmarn for 400 guilders. In 1666, due to financial difficulties due to hail damage and other adversities, he asked the knight canton of Odenwald to reimburse the travel expenses that his two eldest sons incurred on the way to their companies in France. He was probably buried in the church in Bürg built by his father , where he is recorded on the tomb of his son Albrecht Christoph (1647–1681).

From 1630 he was married to Barbara Sibylla Senft von Sulburg († 1650). Twenty years after her death, he married Margaretha Magdalena von Ellrichshausen in 1670. There are eleven children from the first marriage, but most of them died in childhood. His sons, who had grown old, left no further offspring.
