Life

Philipp Albrecht comes from the 2nd branch (Bonfeld) of the 2nd line (Gemmingen and Guttenberg) of the Barons of Gemmingen . He was the youngest of the three sons of the Baden Chamberlain and Knight Council of the knight canton Kraichgau , Ludwig Eberhard von Gemmingen-Guttenberg (1750-1841), and the Louise Auguste Freiin von Saint-André (1752-1815). He attended the Karlsschule in Stuttgart and was then in Austrian military service, later in the service of Württemberg . On the Württemberg side he took part in the winter campaign of 1812 to Russia, where he was wounded near Smolensk . When he returned home, he became director of the military stud in Freudental . In 1817 he became head of the Königlich Württembergischen Gestüt Weil and all other royal private studs. In the end he held the rank of major general and was considered an excellent horse expert, rider and hunter.

In 1837 Gemmingen was awarded the commentary cross of the Order of the Württemberg Crown .

After the death of his father, the paternal legacy (consisting of Bonfeld-Unterschloss, Guttenberg , Dammhof and Niedersteinach ) became a condominium shared by Philipp Albrecht and his two older brothers Ludwig Reinhard (1777-1852) and Karl Friedrich (1779-1871) was managed. Since Ludwig Reinhard remained childless, Philipp Albrecht's descendants received half of the condominium. The condominium continued until 1932.
