Karl Dietrich Anton von Gemmingen

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Karl Dietrich Anton von Gemmingen (* 1694 ; † 1745 ) was the landlord of the Gemmingen rule in the Biet and was remembered for his lively construction work on the churches in his territory.

Life

He was a son of the Steinegger landlord Karl Dietrich von Gemmingen (1658–1699) and Maria Anna Theresia von Stein. The family lived at Steinegg Castle . After the early death of the father, the mother initially led the regency as a substitute. Karl Dietrich Anton had the castle chapel in Steinegg renewed, whereby it was walled up extremely high, so that a basement was created between the old and the new floor. Karl Dietrich Anton had the interior designed by painters and plasterers from Allgäu. Karl Dietrich Anton also had the forest chapel in Hamberg and the parish church in Neuhausen renovated in the style of the time. In the Neuhausen parish church, he had the so-called oratorio built in, a private prayer room. After all, he was responsible for building the Wendelinus Chapel in Neuhausen, for which he also donated the altar. To finance the numerous church buildings, Karl Dietrich Anton sold the stately brickworks in Neuhausen to two citizens in 1728. He remained unmarried and died surprisingly in 1745. His ornate tomb is preserved on the Marien Altar of the Neuhausen parish church.

Since he had no descendants, his close relative Johann Dietrich von Gemmingen (1716–1778) moved into the castle in Steinegg after him .

Individual evidence

  1. ↑ Stocker (1895) calls him Karl Dietrich and essentially only knows his grave inscription, in the Neuhausen local literature he is called Carl Dietrich Anton and honors him in detail. In local literature, all Karls from the Steinegg line are written with C, while Stocker writes them all with K.
