He was a son of Eberhard von Gemmingen zu Bürg (around 1500–1572) from his first marriage to Barbara von Wolfskehlen (1501–1545). He received his education as a page and chamberlain from Count Palatine Wolfgang von Zweibrücken , who followed his repeated requests for dismissal after three long years only under the promise of marriage. Reinhard married Helena von Massenbach (1534–1601) in 1561 .

In 1582 he shared the paternal legacy with his brothers Eberhard (1527–1583) and Hans Walther († 1591), with Reinhard Treschklingen with Oppenheim and the Lautenbacher Hof , while Eberhard Bürg and Hans Walther got Presteneck .

He began with the expansion of Treschklingen into a residence, for which he renewed the Treschklingen Church in 1582 and obtained the right of patronage there. In 1588 he had a “completely new stone dwelling” built in place of an older castle, which was destroyed in the Palatinate War of Succession in 1693 and later built over with today 's Treschklingen Castle .

In 1592 he also bought four fifths of Rappenau for 35,000 guilders from Johann Philipp von Helmstatt and began building the Rappenau moated castle there , which was only completed by his son Eberhard.

He was a member of the committee of the knightly canton Kraichgau . Reinhard and his wife were buried in the Treschklingen church he built, where their grave slabs and their alliance coat of arms have been preserved to this day.

family

His marriage to Helene von Massenbach in 1561 produced eight children, six of whom reached adulthood. Son Reinhard (1576–1635) acquired Hornberg Castle , after which the B (Hornberg) family of the von Gemmingen family , which is still in bloom today, is named. The side branch of the family founded by son Eberhard (1567–1611) was part of the male line in the second generation after him. Son Hans Wilhelm (1573–1615) left only daughters.
