history

The first documentary mention of the place took place on August 16, 1237 in a deed of assignment from the Johannesberg monastery near Hersfeld , in which the Hardehausen monastery gave a manse in Gelczenhusen (document 41 of the Hardehausen monastery). The place was probably originally owned by the von Borken family and belonged to the Freudenthal community . It then appears repeatedly in deeds regarding changes in local ownership. In 1253 , Berthold von Felsberg donated a forest and four Hufen zu Gilserhof to the Breitenau monastery , and in 1286 the German Order's Ballei Hessen in Marburg bought a forest at Gilserhof. With the extinction of the Lords of Borken, the place came into the hands of the Landgraves of Hesse . In the 15th century, the landgraves lent their followers Hartrad von Alnhusen and Elger von Dalwigk with meadows in Gilserhof. In the 16th and 17th centuries, the Gilserhof belonged to the castle seat of the Lords of Urff in Borken. Towards the end of the Thirty Years' War (1647) the settlement fell into desolation .

In 1653, Lieutenant General Johann von Geyso , who was born in Borken in 1593, bought the place along with the neighboring Freudenthal, and in 1658 there was again a working farm. Geyso moved the seat of the noble court Freudenthal to “Gelzenhausen”. After his death in 1661 the court and the court came to Johann Friedrich von Boyneburg , who married Geyso's daughter Elisabeth and leased the estate. A trial in 1688/89 led to the result that the Gelzenhausen court was never in the possession of the von Geyso, but always belonged to the town and office of Borken. In 1705 Heinrich / Henrich von Baumbach was enfeoffed with the Gilserhof by Landgrave Karl von Hessen-Kassel . Through the marriage of his widow to Major Johann Otto von Holwegen, the court and court came to him in 1714. He was followed by Johann Friedrich von Brinck, then in 1750 by purchasing Christian Heinrich von Baumbach (who had already bought Freudenthal in 1735), then Johann Ludwig von Baumbach († 1793) and finally Karl Ludwig von Baumbach († 1848). His descendants emigrated to America , and around 1850/60 the Gilserhof was owned by the Kaufungen Knightly Monastery , which leased it to the Deichmann District Councilor from Lembach . The farm has been sold several times since the end of the First World War.

From the 16th century until the annexation Kurhessen by Prussia in 1866 the Gilserhof belonged to landgräflich-Hessen Borken Office . During the Napoleonic Kingdom of Westphalia (1807-1813) he belonged to the canton and peace court of Borken .

In 1585 the Gilserhof was parish off to Singlis ; since 1780 he belongs to the parish Freudenthal.

In 1928 the Gilserhof district was merged with that of Pfaffenhausen. With the incorporation of Pfaffenhausen into the city of Borken in 1971, the Gilserhof also came to Borken.
