history

Gesenberg was first mentioned in a document around the year 950, the origin of the settlement is assumed to be between 900 and 950 as a result of the Franconian - Carolingian settlement construction.

Around 1500 it is documented by documents that the Hof (Gesen-) Berg was liable for taxes to the Bergisches Amt Beyenburg . The jurisdiction of the court was subordinate to a Bergisch judge specially appointed for the Bergische Höfe in the otherwise Brandenburg- dominated parish of Halver, which often led to a dispute with the Brandenburg count actually responsible for the parish .

In 1818 there were 20 residents in the village. According to the table of localities and distances from the government district of Arnsberg , Gesenberg was categorized as a farm and in 1838 had a population of 33, all of whom were Protestant. The place belonged to the Lausberger peasantry within the mayor's office Halver and had four houses, three factories or mills and four agricultural buildings.

The community encyclopedia for the province of Westphalia from 1887 gives a number of 46 inhabitants who lived in five houses.

In the vicinity there was the Gesenberger Schleifmühle , a Schleifkotten on the Bolsenbach .
