Gatterer zugleich in der Diplomatik ausbilden ließ. 1777 trat er in die Dillenburger Landesverwaltung (Archiv, Rentkammer, Regierung), wurde 1792 Mitglied der Landesregierung und 1796 Direktor des Landesarchivs. 1801-13 mit der Durchsetzung der oranischen Entschädigungsansprüche betraut, kam er in Wien wie in Regensburg in fördernde Verbindung mit der europäischen Diplomatie und - durch den befreundeten Friedrich Nikolai - mit der Berliner Gelehrtenwelt. Erst nach dem Sturz der großherzoglich-bergischen Regierung 1813 kehrte er nach Dillenburg zurück, wo er die Verwaltung der oranischen Stammlande wiedereinrichtete, bis diese 1815 an Preußen und kurz darauf an das neugeschaffene Herzogtum Nassau übergingen.
