Hans von Gemmingen († 1552)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Hans von Gemmingen († February 20, 1552 in Heidelberg ) came from the Velscher branch of the Barons of Gemmingen . He was councilor of the Palatinate , Burgmann in Oppenheim, bailiff in Otzberg and Fauth in Heidelberg. He was the last male descendant of the Velscher family and had his man fief converted into an inheritance, so that large parts of his property fell to his daughter Anna († 1577) after his death.

Life

He was one of the sons of Philipp von Gemmingen, called Schellig († 1520). When the father died, the brothers Eberhard and Wilhelm were still alive. Half of the village of Stebbach fell to Hans from his father's inheritance . He became a bailiff in Otzberg. After the Giener branch in Gemming died out in the early 16th century, Hans also took over their estate in Hilsbach . In 1523, Count Palatine Ludwig V confirmed that Hans von Gemmingen had asked for the Stebbacher Mannlehen to be converted into an inheritance , since he had no sons, only daughters. In 1533 Hans von Gemmingen Burgmann was in Oppenheim . After the death of his brother Eberhard († around 1532), he and his nephew Philipp , son of his brother Wilhelm , who was shot at Landstuhl in 1523 , owned a house in Gemmingen as a Württemberg fief. This house was given to Philip alone in 1536, while Hans was compensated with 425 guilders. Philipp, known as "the Grünewald", died before his uncle Hans, so that later he could enjoy the Württemberg fiefdom again. When Count Palatine Friedrich II married in 1535, Hans Fauth was in Heidelberg. In 1538 he mediated there in a dispute between the convent in Handschuhsheim and the community of Heddesheim . In 1544 he was enfeoffed by the Count Palatine with Freckenfeld in the Rhine Palatinate. In 1551 he gave his Württemberg fiefdom to Wolf von Gemmingen . The fiefdom in Freckenfeld was granted to Count Palatine Friedrich in 1552 to Johann von Bettendorff, provided that Hans von Gemmingen would remain without a male heir. That same year he died and was buried in the Heidelberg Peterskirche .

Due to his efforts to transform the man fief into an inheritance, a large part of Hans von Gemmingen's property came to his daughter Anna , including the house and goods in Hilsbach, a house in Heidelberg ( Gemminger Hof ) and half the village of Stebbach. After her death in 1577, the Palatinate moved the property in Stebbach and its goods in Umstadt. Her heirs sold part of the remaining property to Leonhard von Gemmingen from the Gemmingen-Michelfeld line .

family

He was married to Susanna von Neuhausen († September 28, 1547) since 1514.

Progeny:

  • Anna († 1577) ∞ Jacob von Pfrauenheim zu Ostheim († 1560), second marriage to Melchior von Gräroth
  • Ursula († 1549) ∞ Sittig von Berlips
  • Margaretha († 1547) ∞ Philipp Schlichterer

Individual evidence

  1. ↑ The Gemminger Hof in Heidelberg has been traceable since 1515 and was located in the upper part of Heugasse, opposite the Augustinian monastery. Later the rear buildings of the Jesuit church were built there.
