Wilhelm von Gemmingen († 1523)
Wilhelm von Gemmingen († April 10, 1523 at Landstuhl ) was an imperial knight with rights in Berwangen . He was shot at a relatively young age and left behind only one son who also remained childless, so that the Velscher family line died out with him . The von Rinderbach family acquired shares in Horkheim through Wilhelm's widow, a born von Rinderbach who married the local lord Vollmar Lämlin of Horkheim after Wilhelm's death .
Life
He came from the Gemminger family line of Velscher and was a son of Philipp von Gemmingen, called Schellig († 1520) and Anna von Helmstatt († 1519). In 1520 he shared his father's inheritance with his brothers, whereby as the youngest son he only got the smallest part, namely rights in Berwangen and a large amount of money. In 1521 his brother Eberhard authorized him to receive the fiefdoms from his father , which Emperor Charles V, as the owner of the Duchy of Württemberg at the time , had demanded using a lapel . In 1523 he was shot at Landstuhl and buried in Kaiserslautern .
family
He was married to Barbara von Rinderbach († 1561). After his death she married the Weinsberg bailiff Volmar Lämlin from Horkheim , where she was buried. An epitaph from 1563 on the churchyard wall near the Georgskirche in Horkheim once showed the coats of arms of the Lämlin, Rinderbach and Gemmingen. Son Philip was considered a wonderful adventurer who remained without children. With him, the Velscher family line died out.
