He married his first wife, Appollonia (ca. 1530-bef.1566) in 1561 in Kirchheim, Wuerttemberg, with whom he had three children. Shortly after Appollonia's death, he was remarried to Anna Classer (1531-1582), with whom he had another seven children.
Naming later children after previously deceased children was not unusual. Therefore, it is assumed that the first two children with Appollonia, Anna and Gallus, died while young because he and Anna had two children with the same names.
Children of Gall & Appollonia:
1. Anna Hohenstein (1559-?)
2. Gallus Hohenstein (1562-?)
3. Geneue Hohenstein (1564-?)
Children of Gall & Anna C.:
1. Anna Hohenstein (1568-?)
2. Nicolaus Hohenstein (1569-?)
3. Martinus Hohenstein (1570-?)
4. Elisabetha Hohenstein (1572-?)
5. Gallus Hohenstein (1573-1625)
6. Catharina Hohenstein (1577-?)
7. Walpurga Hohenstein (1578-?)
