The city of Ettenheim / Baden describes this half-timbered house as the house where Gremper was born, referring to Karl Friedrich Vierordt. There is no evidence of this in the sources, Gremper refers to himself several times from Laufenburg. The name Gremper means dealer or Höker.

Gremper can be verified as a student at the Universities of Heidelberg and Basel between 1468 and 1472 with a degree as Magister Artium. Another mention of Johannes Gremper can be found as an imperial notary in Laufenburg on the Upper Rhine.

From there, according to secondary literature, called by the City Council of Waldshut, he led the trial of the Witch of Waldshut in 1479, one of the first witch trials in Germany (at that time, Upper Austria), which is described in the Hexenhammer. As a result, he is likely to have recommended himself to the Dominican Heinrich Kramer, known as Heinrich Institoris, inquisitor of Upper Germany since 1478. In the witch bull Summis desiderantes affectibus of December 1484 prepared by Institoris for Innocent VIII. Gremper is named as a theologian of the Diocese of Constance, Magister, notary and assistant to the Inquisition. Contemporary sources for this information could not yet be determined.
