Kleimayrn came from a Swabian family . He was the eldest son of Ferdinand Cajetan von Kleimayrn, a Salzburg nurse, district judge and provost in Zell am Ziller. He received his early education from him. From 1740 he attended the Salzburg grammar school and the University of Salzburg . He dedicated himself in his studies of philosophy and law and became in 1753 the doctor of law doctorate .

Kleimayrn went to the Reich Chamber of Commerce in Wetzlar . During this time he pursued further studies at the University of Göttingen , where he heard events from the professors of the Halle School Georg Ludwig Böhmer , Johann Stephan Pütter and Johann Jakob Schmauß, among others .

After Kleimayern returned to Salzburg, he began a fast and far-reaching career at the court of the Prince Archbishop of Salzburg . In 1756 he first became court advisor and archivist , and in 1758 he was also appointed court librarian . In 1767 he was appointed Privy Councilor and Hofratprodirektor, then in 1772 as Hofratdirector. In 1789 he was accepted into the Salzburg state estates .

From 1796 to 1799 Kleimayrn was court chancellor of the Prince Archbishopric of Salzburg and, after Prince Archbishop Colloredos had fled, he was a member of the six-person Lieutenancy of Salzburg.

Finally, after the secularization of Salzburg , Kleimayrn became the president of the new Supreme Judicial Office for the principalities of Eichstätt , Passau and Berchtesgaden and the Electorate of Salzburg . From 1804 until his death he was also a member of the electoral state council of Salzburg.

Today a plaque in Salzburg on the corner of Sigmund-Haffner-Gasse and Churfürststraße commemorates Kleimayrn. He had a great deal of power in Salzburg and was thus able to bring about improvements in the administration of civil and criminal justice. He also had a talent for negotiating, so that he could win disputes with neighboring states for Salzburg, for example in disputes about Mühldorf am Inn or about the salt rights. In addition, he made an important contribution to Salzburg's regional history research.

The Benedictine priest, professor at Salzburg University and last abbot of the Wessobrunn monastery, Johann Damascen von Kleimayrn, was his younger brother.
