H. of the Archbishop of Cologne and Elector, opposite the Archdiocese of Paderborn . As a so-called Beistadt of Soest, Geseke belonged to the medieval Hanseatic League and is now a member of the Hanseatic League of Modern Times . The city was dominated by agriculture until the 19th century and then experienced the leap into modern times through the railway connection, the boom in the cement industry and an iron foundry. Today, two world market leaders and various medium-sized medium-sized companies are active on site.
geography
Geographical location
Geseke is a town in the Soest district and is located on Hellweg , today's B1 . Further south near Steinhausen is the motorway entrance that leads to the A44 ( Dortmund - Kassel ). In the south the city borders on the Sauerland and in the east on the Paderborn country . In Ahden there is the not far distant from Geseke Paderborn-Lippstadt .
The landscape of Geseke is in the Geseker Börde , which is part of the Hellwegbörde in the Westphalian Bay . On a small scale, a distinction can be made between the sloping slope of the Haar rising to the south and the flatter Hellweg valley north of the Hellweg. The latter merges northward into the Obere Lippe Valley , which is already part of the Ostmünsterland. Foothills of the Paderborn plateau reach up to the southeast of the urban area .
City structure
- The core city has 14,789 inhabitants including second residences (as of April 30, 2016, also for all other information in this section) and is surrounded by the Paderborn district , only in the west does the city have a connection to the Soest district through the incorporated former Störmede district.
- With 2,420 inhabitants, Störmede is the largest district of Geseke and only one kilometer away from the city center, as a large new building area has emerged between the city center and Störmede in recent years.
- Ehringhausen is a little further north than Störmede and is the second largest district with 1,566 inhabitants.
- Langeneicke , west of Störmede, follows in third place with 1,157 inhabitants
- Mönninghausen with 841 inhabitants in fourth place.
- Eringerfeld with the baroque castle Eringerfeld has 948 inhabitants today. From 1965 Eringerfeld was the seat of the largest boarding school in Germany with up to 1200 students, which, however, had to file for bankruptcy in August 1987. In August 2006 the school was resumed as a replacement school sponsored by the Regenbogen Bildungswerkstatt eV and the boarding school sponsored by the Förderverein.
- Bönninghausen and Ermsinghausen are the smallest districts of Geseke with 111 and 70 inhabitants respectively. Both parts of the city have no street names, instead only the houses are numbered.

The towns of Erwitte and Lippstadt are to the west of the Soest district . In the south, Geseke borders on Rüthen . In the Paderborn district , Geseke borders the city of Salzkotten in the northeast and the city of Büren in the south . Overall, the city protrudes into the Paderborn district in such a way that it is framed by it on 3 sides (north, east and south).
geology
The development of the city of Geseke was significantly influenced by the limestone deposits and the karst springs on Hellweg.
The planer limestone of the Upper Cretaceous along the south-eastern edge of the Münsterland chalk basin in the area of the Hellweg forms the basis for an extensive cement industry in the Geseke area. Since it was founded at the end of the 19th century, it has evolved under changing ownership and has retained its great importance in this area to this day. The quarrying of the limestone has resulted in numerous quarries in the south of the city , which shape the landscape.
The waters in the urban area (Geseker Bach and the tributaries Völmeder and Störmeder Bach) are all fed from the karst springs typical of the Hellweg and thus receive the emerging karst groundwater of the Haarstrang and the Paderborn plateau. A special feature are the numerous dry valleys or sledges in the chalk-limestone distribution area south of the Hellweg. These valleys only carry water at times. They mainly absorb the surface water that occurs during snowmelt, continuous rain or strong thunderstorms.
history
First settlement approaches in Geseke
The Hellweg region with many ice-free springs and very productive loess soils has been inhabited since the Stone Age. This is evidenced by a variety of finds, especially at the Elsinger Warte and the barrows around Eringerfeld. In 2014, the missing part of a burial area from the Bronze and Iron Ages was excavated on the Tudorfer Weg. It has been known since the excavations in 1997 that it is the longest-used cemetery in the city. 73 burials and numerous additional vessels testify to more than 700 years of burials between the Late Bronze Age and the early Roman Empire not far from the sources of the Völmeder and the Geseker Bach.
In the sixth and seventh centuries there was an early medieval settlement in the area of today's Gesekes. During excavations in 1973, a Franconian pottery furnace was discovered on the monastery grounds in the city center, which at that time was operated by (rural) nobles. The stove is therefore a sign that the Franconian settlement in the Saxon area existed long before the "official" Carolingian conquests, which were largely concluded in 799 (meeting of Charlemagne and Pope Leo III in Paderborn).
The first written mention of the place Geseke can be found in a deed of donation from Ludwig the Pious from the year 833. Count Ricdag receives 5 hooves in "Geiske". This also proves a Carolingian royal estate in Geseke. Furthermore, were Ampen as Anadopa and Schmerlecke as Ismerleke mentioned. Due to the proximity to Schmerlecke (6 km), the certificate is also claimed by and for Altengeseke . In favor of Geseke as an object of the document, on the one hand the location on Hellweg, as it is also given for Ampen and Schmerlecke, on the other hand the distances between the villages of Ampen and Schmerlecke (15 km) and between Schmerlecke and Geseke (19 km). Likewise, the spelling "Geiske", which does not differ from the later spellings of Altengeseke in the 11th / 12th Century can be reconciled, another indication of the city of Geseke. Furthermore, there is only archaeological evidence of settlement in Geseke in the 9th century, in Altengeseke the archaeological evidence of settlement does not begin until the 11th century. In addition, Ricdag 822 was already active in Bönninghausen , which is only a few kilometers from the city center of Geseke.
In the year 946 the family who founded Haolde in honor of the Virgin and St. Cyriac a convent in Geseke. Six years later, King Otto I confirmed the founding and took the women's monastery under his protection. The first abbess was Wichburg from the Haolde family. The designation of Gesekes as " civitas " and the mention of a fortification are signs of the importance of the place.
In 1011 the extensive County of Haolds II was donated to Bishop Meinwerk of Paderborn by the later Emperor Heinrich II. The Gesek area was thus also subordinated to the Bishops of Paderborn. Three years later, the canonical monastery was transferred to the Archbishop of Cologne.
In 1180 the Duke of Saxony Heinrich the Lion was overthrown by Emperor Friedrich Barbarossa and the Archbishop of Cologne was enfeoffed with the Duchy of Westphalia . This also included the town-like settlement of Geseke, which was the most important eastern border town across from the diocese of Paderborn .
The foundation of Geseke and the development of the city in the Middle Ages
The Archbishop of Cologne Engelbert I raised Geseke to the city of 1217. As a city constitution which originally was from Soest city charter Rüthener municipal law developed over. Because of its border function with Paderborn and the associated constant unrest, attacks and looting, Geseke was expanded into an imposing fortress after the city elevation, a 3 km long wall (2.50 to 3.00 m high and 1.20 to 1.50 m) wide) with 6 gates and 9 towers was built on the old fortifications. To the outside, a 5 to 6 m deep moat and a hagen served as protection. In 1286, a gographer based in Geseke was first mentioned; The localities Störmede, Langeneicke, Ermsinghausen, Mönninghausen, Ehringhausen, Bönninghausen, Dedinghausen, Rixbeck and Esbeck belonged to the judicial district of Geseke. The previous conflict-ridden joint rule of Cologne and Paderborn was ended in 1294 by an arbitration award through which Geseke was finally incorporated into Cologne territory. In 1317 there was a parish division in Geseke, the city church and the collegiate church each received their own parish. In 1323 the Archbishop of Cologne Heinrich II granted the city the Privilegium de non evocando .
The oldest Schnadgang in Westphalia takes place in Geseke. Schnad trees are mentioned as early as 1326 among the Stockheim farmers.
The black death , which was raging in Europe, did not stop at Geseke either, so there was a plague epidemic in Geseke in 1348 , to which numerous citizens fell victim.
In 1360 the city was divided into four quarters or Hoven, in Osthove, Westhove, Nordhove and Mittelhove, which had to perform important functions especially in the city defense and in the election of mayor and council. In 1374 the hospital was donated to the Holy Spirit. The first written evidence of Geseke's membership in the Städtehanse, which was founded in 1356, dates back to 1380. The Gesek Rifle Brotherhood in honor of Saints Fabian and Sebastian was first mentioned in 1412. Today the Schützenbruderschaft bears the name St. Sebastianus Schützenbruderschaft Geseke 1412 .
In the Soest feud from 1444 to 1449, Geseke stood on the side of Cologne Elector Dietrich II von Moers , while Lippstadt and Paderborn held on to Soest. As a result, Soester and Lippstädter attacked the city of Geseke in 1445, and eight citizens of the city of Geseke were killed, including the mayor Friedrich von der Borg. As a result of this attack, Geseke, Rüthen, Büren and Salzkotten formed a city alliance in 1446.
The painter Gert van Loon was born in Geseke around 1465 , and his most important works include the frescoes in the church in Verne , the world judgment altar in Paderborn Cathedral , the Hörster crucifixion altar and the crucifixion altar in Minden Cathedral. From 1469 to 1480 the Geseker Johann Ymmink was auxiliary bishop in Paderborn, who also held the office of vicar general from 1476 to 1480 .
Geseke between the Reformation and the Napoleonic period
In the course of the Reformation , Lutheran teaching was first spread in Geseke in 1564.
A state parliament was held in Geseke in 1584 under the newly elected Cologne Elector Ernst von Bayern . During the Truchsessischen turmoil , the city was occupied by state troops under the command of Count von Oberstein in 1591 and had to pay a high contribution . In 1608, the city's women's monastery built the monastery school (so-called trivial school ). There was another wave of plague in Geseke in 1613, which again claimed many victims.
During the Thirty Years' War (1618-1648) Geseke fought successfully in 1622 under the leadership of Colonel Dietrich Ottmar von Erwitte against Duke Christian von Braunschweig , who had previously taken the cities of Paderborn, Soest and Lippstadt. On April 6 and 9, 1622 he attacked Geseke unsuccessfully, which offered bitter resistance. Geseke remained the only city in Westphalia that was not conquered. Out of gratitude and as a reminder of this event, a praise procession takes place every third Sunday after Easter, which leads over the ramparts of the city to the stations at the Steintor, Lüdische Tor and Viehor. In 1633, after eight days of siege, Geseke fell into the hands of Landgrave Wilhelm von Hessen. The oldest historian in the city, Father Jodocus Mattenklodt, reports on this event .
In 1633 Johann Krane from Gesek was appointed Imperial Court Councilor in Vienna , who then played a decisive role in the negotiations for the “ Peace of Westphalia ” in Münster in 1648 as the emperor's representative .
A third wave of plague from 1635 to 1636 decimated Geseke's population. In 1637 a Franciscan monastery , the Geseke Franciscan Monastery , was founded in the town . In 1664 the Dickmann trading house was built. In 1687, the Antonianum grammar school , run by the Franciscans, was opened after Elector Maximilian Heinrich had approved the takeover of a grammar school with five classes on August 19, 1686 ; Since the construction and maintenance of the school building were the task of the city of Geseke, the city had, after the approval granted, the construction of the grammar school, and Antonius of Padua was chosen as its namesake .
On August 30, 1689, a great fire broke out in Geseke, which destroyed almost a quarter of the city. In 1699 the Rote Ruhr raged in Geseke and resulted in a total of 130 deaths in around two months.
The persecution of witches in Geseke extended over the years 1604 to 1712 in three process chains from 1618/1619, 1670/1671 and 1691. Only files relating to the 1618 and 1619 witch trials have been preserved. The tramp Adelheit Runte was a victim in 1618. In total, at least 32 of the 54 defendants were executed (14 women, 16 men and children). A culturally and historically valuable testimony from the time of the witch trials is the powder tower in the east wall of the ramparts, also known as the “witch tower”, in which, according to tradition, people were held captive who were accused of alleged witchcraft. The vernacular coined the term "Hexen-Geseke". However, there is no indication that an excessive number of witch trials were carried out in Geseke during this time.
The Maria-Hilf-Chapel was consecrated in 1705. In 1733 the abbot of Abdinghof monastery, Meinwerk Kaup , who was born in Gesek, became auxiliary bishop in Paderborn, who held this office until 1745.
After the electorate of Cologne was abolished in the course of secularization in 1802 , Geseke and the Duchy of Westphalia were from then under the Landgrave of Hesse-Darmstadt . In 1806 the city comprised 447 houses with a total of 2,741 inhabitants, of which 2,593 were Catholic, 134 were Jewish and 14 were Lutheran.
Geseke under Prussian rule
In 1816 Geseke was incorporated into Prussia and the newly created Lippstadt district. Through a papal bull, the Cologne Westphalia was transferred to the diocese of Paderborn in 1821, whereby Geseke was subordinate to the Paderborn bishop. In 1823 the Geseker women's monastery St. Cyriakus was abolished and in 1834 the Franciscan monastery. The Provincial Nursing Institution, which later became the State Hospital , was set up in the rooms of the former Franciscan monastery . The state hospital is now affiliated with the Westphalian clinics in Lippstadt - Benninghausen . In the same year, the Störmede office was formed, which consisted of the villages of Störmede , Langeneicke, Ehringhausen , Ermsinghausen, Eringerfeld , Esbeck, Rixbeck, Bökenförde, Dedinghausen, Bönninghausen and Mönninghausen and whose administration was initially located in Ehringhausen and later moved to Störmede.
In 1850 the Geseke railway station was put into operation on the Hamm-Soest-Paderborn railway line of the Royal Westphalian Railway Company . In 1854 the municipal savings bank Geseke was founded. The first Geseker newspaper appeared in 1868 under the title "Westphalian People's Friend". In the same year, the first urban street lighting made from petroleum lamps was also installed. The cattle market established in 1811, later also Krammarkt, became the Gösselmarkt in 1870, which in 1933 was connected to a fair and became a large folk festival.
In 1892 the " Geseker Zeitung " , which still exists today, appeared for the first time. Two years later the Geseke volunteer fire brigade was founded. In 1899 the Bachstrasse in the city center was channeled; up to this point the road was an open moat. The spring in front of the hospital, the so-called "Geseker Spring", still reminds of this today.
In 1900 the Geseke – Büren railway was put into operation as a connection between the Hamm – Warburg railway and the Almetalbahn , which promoted the development of the cement industry, which for a long time was the most important branch of the economy for Geseke. The city's power station began generating electricity that same year, and street lighting was electrified. A year later it was connected to the telephone network.
In 1914, after a two-year construction period, the municipal waterworks was completed and put into operation. At the end of the First World War in 1918, Geseke had 6,031 inhabitants.
In 1933 the first Protestant church was built in Geseke.
National Socialist rule and World War II
As early as 1933, shortly after Hitler came to power , there was initial hostility towards the Jewish citizens in Geseke. So leaflets were distributed calling on the Gesek population not to trade with Jews. In 1935, the war memorial was inaugurated at the Rosenteich due to the strong glorification of those who died in the war. During the November pogroms in 1938 there were also riots in Geseke on the night of November 9th to 10th against the Jewish families living in Geseke. As in many other places, the local SS took them into "protective custody" and placed them in the Gesek synagogue. In the following years, the few Jews living in Geseke either left the city or were taken to concentration camps.
During the Second World War , Geseke was spared attacks for a long time, before several heavy bombing raids between 1944 and 1945, including on May 31, 1944 on the district with the station area and on March 12, 1945 on a fully occupied refugee train in Gesek station, over 130 people died. On April 1, 1945, the city was finally occupied by the Americans.
post war period
After the war, the population rose from 7,341 residents in 1938 to 9,728 residents in 1946 due to the influx of refugees and displaced persons. In the years 1948 to 1952, the settlement "Auf den Strickern" was built in the west of the city to accommodate the increasing population meet. The population growth also made another Catholic parish in the city necessary, so in 1954 the foundation stone was laid for the Catholic Marienkirche in the south of the city, which was then consecrated on November 17, 1957.
Due to the steadily growing individual traffic in the 1960s, the southern bypass of Bundesstraße 1 was built around the city center in order to relieve the narrow Hellweg with its historical building substance from through traffic. The bypass was inaugurated in 1965.
In 1968, Ingrid Becker from Geese won the gold medal in the pentathlon at the Olympic Games in Mexico.
Further development
As of December 31, 1974, the city of Geseke had 13,239 inhabitants. In the course of the regional reform , the Störmede office with the localities Störmede, Ehringhausen, Ermsinghausen, Eringerfeld, Bönninghausen, Mönninghausen and Langeneicke was connected to the city of Geseke in 1975 and assigned to the newly formed Soest district; on January 1, 1975 the new city had a total of 19,940 inhabitants.
On May 5, 1978, the city of Geseke and the French city of Loos signed a town twinning. The friendship certificate had the following wording:
“We, Mayor von Loos and Mayor von Geseke, promise lasting friendship between our cities in agreement with our citizens. It should be filled with life through constant and lively contacts on as many levels as possible. We are certain that this friendship corresponds to a matter close to the heart of our citizens as well as contributing to the politically necessary cooperation between the French and German people. May it ultimately flow into the peaceful coexistence of all peoples, united by the language of the heart. "
- signed Heinrichsmeier, mayor of the city of Geseke
On June 25, 1983, after more than three hundred years after the fall of the Hanseatic League , Geseke and 19 other former Hanseatic cities signed the founding charter of the Westphalian Hanseatic League. In 1985 Geseke and his French twin town Loos were awarded the Peace Prize for Franco-German friendship in Paris .
In the same year, excavations in the southern Feldmark uncovered the foundation walls of the 13th century desert of Elsinghausen, which scientists classified as a find of supraregional importance.
In 1994 the city of Geseke was awarded the Federal Prize (bronze medal) for the exemplary integration of emigrants .
On September 22nd, 1996, Reinhard Marx , who was born in Gesek, was ordained bishop in Paderborn Cathedral at the age of 43, making him the youngest bishop in Germany. After Bishop Johannes Ymminck (1469–1493) and Meinwerk Kaup (1733–1745), he is the third Geseker in the office of auxiliary bishop in Paderborn. In 2002 Marx was introduced as the new bishop of the Diocese of Trier and in 2008 as the new archbishop of Munich and Freising, in 2010 he was appointed by Pope Benedict XVI. accepted into the college of cardinals as cardinal priest with the titular church of San Corbiniano.
The population of Geseke (including the city districts) exceeded the limit of 20,000 for the first time in 1998, and in 1998 a total of 20,097 inhabitants were registered in the city.
Incorporations
During the territorial reform on January 1, 1975, Geseke and the then Störmede office were merged to form the new town of Geseke on the basis of the “Law on the reorganization of the communities and districts of the Münster / Hamm reorganization area” of July 9, 1974. The districts Störmede, Ehringhausen, Langeneicke, Mönninghausen, Bönninghausen, Eringerfeld and Ermsinghausen are added to the core city with the former Störmede office. The villages of Esbeck, Rixbeck, Bökenförde and Dedinghausen, which also belong to the Störmede office, are incorporated into the city of Lippstadt .
Population development
The following overview shows the number of inhabitants according to the respective territorial status. These are census results or official updates from the State Statistical Office. From 1871, the information relates to the “local population”, from 1925 to the resident population and since 1987 to the “population at the location of the main residence”. Before 1871, the number of inhabitants was determined according to inconsistent survey procedures. From 1975 the population includes the former Amt Geseke and the former Amt Störmede in the town of Geseke created by the regional reform.

The cross is derived from the coat of arms of Kurköln , the Kurkölnischer Kreuz , a black cross on a silver background. The cross was first used as the official city coat of arms around 1700.
The wagon wheel was included in the coat of arms as a symbol of the Störmede office , which was united with the city of Geseke as part of the regional reform .

Citizens' decisions 2019
For the European elections in 2019, two referendums took place in Geseke, which for the first time in North Rhine-Westphalia a key question according to. § 26 (7) GO NW made necessary. In December 2018, the city council decided to expand the marketplace in accordance with the plans that had been drawn up since 2016 and commissioned the administration to prepare a “confimative council decision”, i.e. a vote by the citizens on the council decision. The Brunnenverein Geseke eV turned against this, as the city plans no longer provided for the water feature initiated by the association on the market square ("Marktbrunnen"). Instead, there were suggestions to move the water feature. The fountain association therefore initiated a referendum with the aim of leaving the fountain in its current form and in its current location, which the council of the city of Geseke did not comply with at the beginning of 2019. Since the citizens 'decision (market square conversion without a well) and the citizens' decision (preservation of the well) contradicted each other in terms of content, a key question was required in accordance with Section 26 (7) GO NRW, the result of which regulates which decision should apply if both decisions are answered by a majority and with the required quorum with "Yes". The results were as follows: Market square conversion: 68.69% yes to 31.31% no, well location: 51.75% yes to 48.25% no, so that the key question had to decide. This resulted in: 57.70% "conversion" to 42.30% "fountain", with a turnout of 52.77%.

In the Middle Ages, there was a castle in Störmede which was the seat of the noble houses of Hörde, von Bocholtz and von Korff, which was passed on to Count Wilhelm von Bocholtz-Meschede with the associated estate. He sold the property to the landowner Modersohn in 1880. In 1885 the estate was finally sold to Baron Fritz von Ketteler-Harkotten and Schwarzenraben. The town of Geseke had owned it since the 1970s and sold it to the Bröggelwirth family in 2010. From 2011 reconstruction in a different form as "Rittergut Störmede".
- Eringerfeld Castle , a Baroque castle in the Eringerfeld district, was built as a family foundation in the years 1676–1699 by the canons Johann Gottfried and Rhabanus Christoph von Hörde. The builder was Jobst Scheck from Störmede and the architect probably Ambrosius von Oelde .
- The so-called Toholtenhof (actually Gravenhof) is a simple plastered building with a crooked hip roof that was built in 1714 by the rent master Johannes Otto Fischer. The oldest component used is the integrated stone work , which probably dates from the 16th century. Of the farm buildings, only the former coach house remained . The half-timbered building erected in the 18th century was restored in 1987/88.
- Former tithe courtyard of the Böddeken monastery . A house of the Böddeken monastery in Geseke is mentioned as early as 1443. From the courtyard, to which other half-timbered buildings belonged, a three-storey residential attic has been preserved. In 1509 it says about this: “Item dat huiß off steynkammer tho Gesike wort ouck dit jar hewn tho bauwen.” Completed the following year, it is considered to be the city's oldest secular solid building. After the storage facility was initially to be demolished when the grammar school was rebuilt, it was extensively restored in 1974/75. However, the younger half-timbered front building was removed. Serving as the city archive from 1984 to 1998, the Steinwerk is used as a magazine by the Association for Local History. In addition, exhibitions and lectures take place in the building.
- Residential buildings. Although Geseke - in contrast to the nearby Soest - was largely spared during the Second World War, the city no longer has a uniform and closed appearance as a result of numerous demolitions and redevelopment measures. In the past, the streets were dominated by gabled half-timbered houses , of which several examples have survived , particularly on Hellweg . Hellweg 1 and Hellweg 40 were probably built before 1600 . Hellweg 8 , which was designated in 1734, also originates from this period . Hellweg 23 could be dendrochronologically dated to the year 1459. Originally one storey, it was extended and heavily renovated in the 18th century. At the beginning of the Thirty Years' War, Kleiner Hellweg 10 , which is designated 1618, was built. After the Thirty Years War, Hellweg 11 and Hellweg 22 (both 1665) were built. Hellweg 13 , built in 1664 for the merchant Friedrich Dickmann, is one of the most stately half-timbered buildings in the city . It has an additional storage floor and is equipped with a hall with a basement in the rear part. In the 19th century, the building, which was formerly known as the “Haus zum groten Stein”, was heavily rebuilt and the hall, which was formerly accessible through a large gate, was subdivided by adding more rooms. Acquired by the city in 1951, it has served as a local museum since 1954. The house at Marktplatz 1 , which is decorated with fan rosettes and was built around 1550, is particularly splendid . The inscription "1545" on the gate beam is more recent. - In addition, several stone works have been preserved in the city center: Behind the half-timbered building Hellweg No. 11 (former Hotel Wilpers), which was built in 1665, there is a three-story, massive rear building, which, according to the inscription, was renewed in 1705. Further stone work remains can be found behind the "Alte Ratsschänke" at Marktplatz 6 and behind the former Gasthaus Gödde or half-timbered house , Hellweg 1 .
- Collegiate school. The half-timbered building with a half- hipped roof not far from the collegiate church was built in 1608. The coat of arms of Abbess Maria von Imbsen is attached to the exterior. The inscription reads ANNO DOMINI 1608 IS DISS SCHVLZGEBVWE OF THE EHRVRDIGEN IE THE IRDICHE AND DVGENTRIKEN MARIEN OF IMBSE DISSES RAISE HERITAGE ADELICHEN GEBLVETS ABDISSINNEN ZVR HONOR GOD VND CHRISTIAN IVGENOT ZVM BEST SAME VND IN DAILY GEBEDT ZVGEDENCKEN VORERET VND erected BEEN AVS THE ZVGEDENCKEN VORERET VND erected BEEN AVS DV DIR PRAISE FOR THE MVNDE OF THE IVNGEN CHILDREN VND SEVGLINGEN .
- City fortifications. Of the former six gates and 13 towers of the city wall, which was built in the early 13th century and removed at the beginning of the 19th century, only the stump of the semicircular powder tower , also known as the witch's tower, remains. The wall, which is now lined with trees, is almost completely preserved with a total length of around three kilometers.
Parks
In the city center around the Geseker pond, the Thoholte house and the St. Cyriakus church, there is a small park with a playground and a training area with fixed sports equipment. A water wheel replaces the earlier waterfalls. The Thoholte house is used as a café .
graveyards
Geseke owns a total of six cemeteries, one each in the core city on Delbrücker Straße, in Ehringhausen, Störmede, Langeneicke, Mönninghausen. There is a Jewish cemetery on Ehringhauser Straße , but it is no longer used for burials.
movie theater
Until 1984 there was a cinema on Hellweg in Geseke. Since then you have to avoid going to the cinema to Lippstadt or Paderborn. There have been repeated efforts in the past to reactivate this cinema. The cinema still exists in its original state.
Regular events
- The Gösselkirmes with the Gösselmarkt, the spring festival procession on Saturday with numerous motif floats, children's groups and music bands and the witch town run always take place for four days from the first Thursday in May. A big fireworks display ends on Sundays.

- Hexenstadtfest in September.
- Christmas market on the first weekend in Advent on the market square.

Economy and Infrastructure
traffic
Road traffic
Geseke has the most important traffic connection through the B1 , which runs through the city from west to east. The B1 has now been dismantled in the urban area, all intersections have been replaced by roundabouts . Geseke also has a connection to the A 44 from Dortmund to Kassel (AS Geseke) in the south of the city .
Bus transport
The city has two city bus lines (line 690 Stadtverkehr in Geseke and 691 Geseke - Eringerfeld) and regional bus lines to Lippstadt (line R63 Geseke Bhf - Lippstadt via Störmede; Langeneicke; Ehringhausen; Dedinghausen and the R64 Geseke Bhf - Lippstadt via Bönninghausen; Mönninghausen; Garfeln ; Esbeck), Paderborn (line 493) and Büren (line 465). There are also four bus routes that are only operated by schoolchildren (routes 691, 693, 694 and 540). The operators of the lines are BVO (Busverkehr Ostwestfalen-Lippe) and BRS (Busverkehr Ruhr-Sieg).
However, the bus offer on the regular lines does not cover the entire city area. Sometimes you have to walk long distances to get to a stop.
Until 2002 the central meeting point was the station forecourt. Due to the cramped conditions on this, a new, bright bus station with lots of glass has been built on the site of the former goods handling department to the west of the station building .
Rail transport
Geseke station is on the Hamm – Warburg railway line . It is served every half hour by the regional train RB 89 ( Münster - Hamm - Paderborn - Warburg ). Another stop is in the Ehringhausen district .
On the Geseke – Büren railway line, which was opened in 1900 and formerly to Büren , passenger traffic was discontinued in 1952. Today it is largely closed and only leads to the cement works in the south of the city and is used as an industrial track by the WLE , EGP and WAB .
Geseker Bahnhof offers two platforms for rail travelers: the main platform with platform 1 in the direction of Paderborn and the covered central platform with platform 2 for trains in the direction of Soest and siding 3, which is accessible through a pedestrian tunnel. Until the renovation work to electrify the main line at the end of the 1960s, the direct route to Büren ran along platform 1. The trains in the direction of Paderborn stopped at platform 2, and all trains in the direction of Soest departed from platform 3, which is hardly used today. When passenger traffic to Büren was discontinued, track 1 served as a siding. Until the beginning of the 1970s there were a few passenger trains in the timetable that were used in Geseke or ended here.
In the course of the new construction of a bus station, the entire station area was redesigned in 2002 and equipped with spacious, covered bicycle racks and commuter parking spaces. Since the beginning of 2007, a bike station has also been available in the former baggage claim area. As one of the few small train stations, the train station also has a ticket office operated by a DB agency with a travel agency. Since 2007 the main building has been home to a larger catering establishment with a music bistro, pub and cafe.
The regional association SPNV Ruhr-Lippe is responsible for the organization of rail transport in the region .
air traffic
The Paderborn / Lippstadt airport is located about ten kilometers south of the city, about two kilometers from the hamlet of Ahden the city Buren removed. In addition to flights to Munich , there are primarily flights to southern holiday areas.
The airport can be reached directly via the B 1 and a signposted airport feeder, as well as from the A 44 via the Büren exit. The airport only has a direct connection to local public transport from Paderborn and Büren (express bus line 400). The airport can be reached from Geseke by bus via a timed change in Büren.
Bicycle traffic
The long-distance cycle routes R6 ( Dammerwald near Wesel to Willebadessen ) and R47 ( Dümmersee to Bad Laasphe ) as well as the themed routes Hellweg Route , Westphalian Salt Route, Cycle Route Stones and More and the Zabel long-distance route, named after the internationally successful route , run through the area of the city of Geseke Cyclist Erik Zabel .
Geseke is integrated into the state-wide cycling network in North Rhine-Westphalia , which connects all cities and municipalities in the state with uniform signposting. A junction system has also been created for 3300 km of cycle paths in the districts of South Westphalia . In Geseke, information boards at junctions 25 to 28 show possible routes to the next junctions and provide information about the sights in the immediate vicinity.
At the local level, the entire area of the city of Geseke can be experienced through several signposted circular routes. The area and the building of the Geseker train station offer safe and protected parking spaces for bicycles in sufficient numbers. There is a charging station for e-bikes in the Langeneicke district.
Companies
Overall, medium-sized companies can be found in Geseke. Important resident companies are
- Sedus Systems , a manufacturer of office furniture with 175 employees (until December 31, 2007 Gesika Büromöbelwerk GmbH),

media
The Geseker Zeitung appeared in Geseke as an independent newspaper until 1974 , since the takeover by the Patrioten there has only been a regional section for Geseke in the daily Der Patriot, with the editorial office still located in Geseke. When taking over, however, it was agreed that the name "Geseker Zeitung" would remain. As a result, the patriot appears in the urban area of Geseke under the name "Geseker Zeitung". The weekly newspaper Neue Regionale, financed by advertising, is also published in Geseke and the Wochenip from Lippstadt.
About Geseke report u. a. the news portal Feuerwehr-Geseke.de (since 2001), Geseke-News.de (since 2009) and NRplus.de (since 2019). The latter belongs to the newspaper publisher Neue Regionale.
Public facilities
- Police station . After the Geseker police station was closed in 1993 as part of savings and Geseke had been looked after from Lippstadt since then, a police citizen's office was set up in the city again just a few years later to give citizens a means of contact. This office was manned for three hours Monday through Friday. In the meantime, there has been a police station in Geseke again since February 2007, but it is only manned Monday to Saturday from 8 a.m. to midnight. In the other times Geseke is still looked after from Lippstadt.
- Volunteer fire brigade with the fire engine in the city center and in the Störmede district, as well as the fire fighting groups in the Langeneicke and Mönninghausen districts.
- Ambulance . (Rescue Service District Soest)
- Hospital "To the Holy Spirit" . The hospital, which was founded in 1374, was canceled by the health insurance companies at the end of the nineties of the last century, which would have meant the closure of the hospital. Following legal disputes between the city and the health insurance companies, the hospital continues to exist today as an emergency clinic with a greatly reduced number of beds. The specialist departments were reduced to the bare essentials, and so today there are only departments for internal medicine and short-term surgery. The departments for obstetrics and gynecology as well as ENT were closed, as was the specialist department for anesthesia. As a second pillar, the hospital now offers stations for short-term and inpatient care in the area of elderly care.
- Library in the rectory on the market square . The library is run by the Catholic parishes of St. Cyriakus, St. Petri and St. Marien and is open on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays.
