George Gernert his father, George Gernert the Elder, comes from the middle-class patrician family Gernert from Arnau . The family was related to the well-to-do middle-class families Cirkan, Dreyschuch in the surrounding villages of Kottwitz , Tschermna , Silber . His ancestors were senators and mayors (1611) of the city of Arnau . The Gernerts owned a town hall with a large wine cellar and wine trade next to the town hall in Arnau, as evidenced around 1592. Today it is the Hotel am Ring . The Gernert were councilors and wine taverns of the well-known noble lords of Arnau, the von Waltstein, later called von Wallenstein . The von Waltstein family bought the house and the brewing trade from Merten Gernert in 1592. The Gothic cellar vaults were connected to the Ratskeller . The Gernert owned a large number of arable land along the Elbe, a meat bank on the market, a family crypt at the monastery, and in 1528 a gate house in front of the eastern city gate, the Niderthor . There, after the city gates had closed, you could lodge, drink, look after the horses and the money was paid here to enter the city.

The repression of the Counter-Reformation forced that part of the family that did not want to be re-Catholicized to the Protestant villages on the border with Saxony and Silesia until 1682. Rochlitz , which was emerging after the Thirty Years' War, needed a court mayor. George Gernert the Elder received the privileged office. In the period that followed, the elected village judges Georg Gernert the Elder and the Younger dominated this office from 1657 to 1682. On July 15, 1682, the pressure from the Catholic landlady was so great that 200 subjects - the majority of the local population - smashed the glass windows, packed the essentials, tore down the chimneys and crossed the Böhmersteig with the ringleader George Gernert the Younger and Nathalien Müller The Giant Mountains fled. To transport the most necessary belongings, 100 of their own and 200 of the ruler's cattle were taken along. The whole withdrawal into Protestant Saxony was enforced with firearms and stabbing weapons by the rebellious exiles . The march ended in Schwarzbach in the Saxon Bautzener Queiskreis , a village under the Protestant rulership of Uechtritz (Gebhardsdorf, Schwerta). The main burden of integrating and settling the German-Bohemian exiles was carried by Gebhardsdorf . The now subordinate rule in Bohemia complained to the Emperor in Vienna, in Prague and in Dresden to the Elector of Saxony about their grievances. A lot of correspondence was conducted to get the exiles back. In a protocol of August 6, 1682 recorded by the mayor of Grottau by order of the monarch, George Gernert declared the promise made by the lord of the manor, Christoph von Uechtritz, who had taken in the exiles. He wanted to take him on and take him in and would have ordered his people with high punishment if they didn't take in the runaway. In spite of this, in the 17th century orders were made to return the exiles to their former positions with the guarantee of reinstatement. Of the 200 people who had fled, 121 returned to Bohemia.

George Gernert returned to Rochlitz with his wife and 5 children before 1693; he did not regain his social status as a judge. His brother Hans Gernert, a farmer, stayed in Schwarzbach / Queiskreis in Saxony . His son Christian settled in Estherwalde in 1713 with his wife and two children on farm No. 9, always ready to flee the exiles . The Schwarzbach, the former border brook between Saxony and Silesia, flowed behind their house. The descendants of the exiles Gernert, who later lived in Silesia and Brandenburg, took on the family names Gerner and Görner in the subsequent period . After 1945 Plauen , Potsdam , Berlin and Schwerin became the new home of the Gerner.
