Orendel von Gemmingen (* on the Friday before Easter 1464 ; † September 8, 1520 in Michelfeld ) was the landlord in Michelfeld as well as the Electoral Palatinate Council and Vicedom zu Germersheim .

Life

He was descended from the Michelfeld line of the Lords of Gemmingen and was a son of Germersheim Vogts Keckhans von Gemmingen (1431–1487) and Brigitta von Neuenstein . The father selected Orendel as the heir and provided the clergy for all of his siblings, including the brothers Uriel , Georg and Erpho and sister Els .

Like his father, Orendel entered the service of the Palatinate . In 1486 he moved with Elector Philipp to Geroldseck. In 1488 he was one of the Ganerbe who carried out construction work on Trachenfels Castle . In 1493 he became Vogt in the Palatinate Oberamt Germersheim. In 1499 the elector appointed him to be his chief financial officer with the title of chamber master of the Electoral Palatinate . In 1501 he belonged to the embassy of the Imperial Knighthood , which negotiated with the Roman-German King Maximilian I about the common penny .

In 1504 he received the front courtyard house in Gemmingen from Speyr Bishop Ludwig von Helmstatt as a fief, which his uncle Eberhard († 1501) and before that his father Hans had had. At the same time, Orendel gave half of Ingenheim to the bishop and was enfeoffed in 1505. At the same time he received the goods and rights in Michelfeld, to Dachenfeld and Billigheim . Orendel endeavored to come into the sole possession of Michelfeld through purchase and exchange, which he finally achieved through contracts with the Bishop of Speyer , the Count of Oettingen , the Count Palatine in Heidelberg and the cousins ​​in Gemmingen.

Orendel bought the town of Sinsheim from Count Palatine Philipp the Sincere in 1506 . The repurchase took place by 1524 at the latest.

His brother Uriel - meanwhile Archbishop of the Archdiocese of Mainz - appointed him in 1509 to the chief magistrate of the Mainz offices in Miltenberg , Bischofsheim, Külsheim, Buchen and Königshofen.

He died in Michelfeld in 1520.

Orendel von Gemmingen's first marriage was to Katharina von Sickingen , Franz von Sickingen's sister . The wedding took place in 1491 on the Ebernburg , the new headquarters of the Lords of Sickingen in the Palatinate on the left bank of the Rhine. Katharina died two years later, a few weeks after the birth of her only son Weirich (1493–1548), and was buried in Germersheim.
