history

From the old days

Nothing is known from prehistory and early history, but archaeological finds at the Rosendahlsberg / Neuburger Hof, only 2.0 km away, allow the conclusion that Stone Age hunters and gatherers have roamed Gieslenberg. A settlement in the Middle Ages can also only be assumed. Gieslenberg is first mentioned in a document in connection with the leasing of a piece of land of 3 acres on the "Geislberg" on February 22, 1587.

A deep cut for the shooting clubs in the south of the city meant the elimination of the established on June 19, 1926 St. Hubertus shooting club meal break Gieslenberg, today's St. Hubertus - Schutterij meal break Gieslenberg, from the St. Sebastianus Schutterij Reusrath from 1468. The Gieslenberger Schützen also played a key role in building their own church . When the parish of St. Barbara was divided, St. Gerhard in Gieslenberg was consecrated at Christmas 1964. The church of St. Gerhard in Gieslenberg was designed by the architect Herbert Herrmann. It celebrated the 25th anniversary of its consecration on April 28, 1990 . The parish church choir was founded in 1965. The Hubertus Hall of the Schützenbruderschaft next to the church was inaugurated in 1977.
