Life
He came from the Fürfeld line of the barons of Gemmingen-Guttenberg and was a son of the forest clerk and chamberlain Alexander von Gemmingen (1838-1913) and Hedwig von Degenfeld-Neuhaus (1845-1903). Like his father and his younger brother Dietrich Alfred von Gemmingen , he also entered the state service in Württemberg and became royal chamberlain in 1914. At the First World War he took part last as a major. From 1920 he was in the personal service of the abdicated King of Württemberg Wilhelm II , from 1921 in the service of the former Queen Charlotte . In 1936 he retired, which he spent in Stuttgart and Schwäbisch Gmünd.
He died in Schwäbisch Gmünd in 1962. His urn was transferred to Fürfeld and buried there. Since it was customary to ring the church tower bells when transferring the dead, but the urn was transported by parcel post, the port vehicle was greeted with bells.
