Luise von Gemmingen

Luise Agnes von Gemmingen (born January 19, 1862 in Dammhof , † December 29, 1929 in Baden-Baden ) was a royal Württemberg lady-in-waiting and author.

Life

She came from the 2nd branch (Bonfeld) of the II line (Gemmingen and Guttenberg) of the barons of Gemmingen and was a daughter of the former Württemberg government councilor Ernst Ludwig von Gemmingen (1818–1880) and Julie Freiin Schaffalitzky von Mukadel (1828–1897 ). She was born on the Dammhof near Eppingen, which her father had been managing since 1856. She then moved to her brother Philipp von Gemmingen (1860-1907), who was a major and battalion commander in Altenburg, Württemberg. She ran the household of the unmarried brother and was the Württemberg court lady. After her brother's death, she moved to Baden-Baden. After the end of the monarchy, she maintained close contact with Princess Hermine , who was accompanied by Luise during her stays in Germany and who, after Luise's death in 1930, also visited her grave on the Dammhof.

Luise von Gemmingen remained unmarried. She is the author of the novel Aus der Heimat der Degenheim , which is set in the southern German aristocratic society of the 18th century.
