He was the son of Eberhard von Gemmingen († 1479). In 1480 he wrote a lapel to Count Eberhard von Württemberg because of the fiefs that his father Eberhard had previously had. In it, he corrected the incorrectly numbered farm positions in Gemmingen, which were incorrectly numbered at 70 in the hall book, to 17. In 1513 he exchanged half of it for Stebbach with Orendel von Gemmingen for one-sixth to Michelfeld . In 1515 he acquired a portion of the tithe in Berwangen, which was later redeemed . In 1520, the year he died, the 1000 guilders duty at Kaub , which his family had received through his uncle Wendel , was also paid . He was buried in Gemmingen .
