He attended secondary school in Vaduz. In 1946 he joined his father's carpentry business in Schaan, which he then ran from 1962 to 2005.From 1974 [Liechtenstein general election|1974] to 1986 he was a member of the Landtag of Liechtenstein as a member of the Progressive Citizens' Party. During this time, he was a member of the finance and state committees. He was a co-founder and the chairman of the Liechtenstein Mountain Rescue Service.
During the 1992 Liechtenstein constitutional crisis Frommelt, among other notable politicians, formed the Nonpartisan Committee for Monarchy and Democracy and called for a demonstration against Hans-Adam II's threatened dissolution of the Landtag due to disagreements regarding the date of a referendum to Liechtenstein's accession to the European Economic Area. As a result, approximately 2,000 people demonstrated in front of the government house in Vaduz. Ultimately, a compromise was reached between the prince and government.
In the run-up to the 2003 Liechtenstein constitutional referendum, Batliner alongside other former members of the Landtag, opposed the proposed changes by the prince; he campaigned against it.
Frommelt married Johanna Schropp on 28 September 1957 and they had five children together. He died on 17 November 2019, aged 88.
