history

The first documentary mention was made in 1209 in connection with the Petersstift Fritzlar and the name Gilse . In the following centuries the name changed again and again from Gylse (1253), Güsse (1445), Gylze (1456), Gylsa (1568), Gilis (around 1570), Gilsa (1575/85) and Gilsen (1575/85) to today's Gilsa.

The ancestral seat of the noble family von und zu Gilsa is located in the area of Gilsa . These include the Oberhof , a three- story medieval stone building that was externally gothicized in the 18th century , and Gilsa Castle , a former moated castle on the Gilsa from the mid-15th century. The moats are filled in today. The Unterhof is a half-timbered mansion from around 1700.

In the immediate vicinity of the Drei Höfe is the village church from 1719, which is still under the patronage of the Lords von und zu Gilsa and was renovated in 2000.

Gilsa had a station built by Alois Holtmeyer on the Zimmerrode – Gemünden (Wohra) line , the "Kellerwaldbahn", which went into operation on October 2, 1911 . On May 28, 1972, passenger traffic on the entire route and goods traffic on the section between Zimmerrode and Gilserberg were suspended.

On December 31, 1971, the previously independent municipality of Gilsa was incorporated into the new municipality of Neuental.
