Julius von Gemmingen-Steinegg

Julius von Gemmingen-Steinegg (born October 20, 1774 in Tiefenbronn , † August 25, 1842 in Stuttgart ) was lord of the castle in Steinegg and landlord in the bidding and Hagenschiess . He gained fame mainly through his change of denomination in 1823.

Life

He was the son of Karl Joseph Ludwig von Gemmingen (1736–1801) and Countess Maria Theresa von Unverzagt (1735–1790). He was able to rule again in 1805 through his marriage to the distantly related Anna Maria von Gemmingen-Steinegg, daughter of the last male descendant of the Steinegg main line, and through the childless death of his brother Karl Dietrich, who had married Anna Maria's sister Maria Antonia unite the previously fragmented large property of the Gemmingen-Steinegg family line in Biet and in Hagenschieß , but soon afterwards lost most of its aristocratic rights as a result of the Reichsdeputationshauptschluss and mediatization of the imperial knighthood territories. From 1819 to 1822 he was a member of the First Chamber of the Baden Estates Assembly as a representative of the manorial nobility from the electoral district below the Murg . Under the influence of Aloys Henhöfer , he converted from Catholicism to the Evangelical Church in 1823. In 1830 he had a Protestant church built in Mühlhausen and a rectory with a teacher's apartment there. However, Henhöfer could not work there as a pastor. He lived in the castle in Steinegg until 1835, when he passed the property on to his sons Gustav and Eduard and moved to Stuttgart, where he died in 1842.

family

He was married to Anna Maria (Marianne) von Gemmingen (1781-1858), a daughter of the Steinegger landlord and councilor Franz von Gemmingen (1746-1797). The couple's closest common relative was Bernhard von Gemmingen (1448–1518), under whose descendants the Steinegg line had split into the Steinegg and Tiefenbronn branches.
