Gieseking was involved in the left-wing German Democratic Union , of which he has been a member since it was founded in 1955. This Saarland party was joined in 1957 by many previous members of the KPS , which fell under the KPD ban when the Saarland joined the Federal Republic of Germany . In the state election in 1960 he was elected to the Saarland state parliament for the DDU . On March 3, 1961, the DDU joined the German Peace Union as its Saarland regional association, which also made Gieseking a DFU member. Gieseking himself had been one of the signatories of the DFU founding appeal in 1960. After the DDU failed in the state election in 1965 with 3.1% of the vote at the 5 percent hurdle , he left the state parliament.

He was also active in the Bund der Deutschen , for which he ran unsuccessfully in the Bundestag election in Saarbrücken-Stadt and as a top candidate from Saarland in the 1957 Bundestag elections . Since 1956 he was BdD state chairman in Saarland.
