Füllmaurer was born around 1497 in Herrenburg, in Baden-Württemberg and his name first appears in documents in 1514. Among his friends was the Lutheran theologian Kaspar Gretter (1501–1557). The latter dedicated a catechism to Füllmaurer in 1537.

Among Fullmaurer's collaborators were Albrecht Meyer and Marx Weiss dem Jüngeren. All three worked on decorating the ducal apartments of Ulrich in Stuttgart.[1]
