Geseke, Medieval trading post in Soest, Germany.

Geseke sits between Haarstrang and Münsterland regions along the Hellweg trade route, featuring preserved town walls transformed into walking paths.

The settlement dates back to 833, when it was first documented, and later gained importance as a member of the Hanseatic League trading network.

The Geseker Gösselkirmes fair takes place annually on the first Thursday in May, bringing together residents and visitors for traditional celebrations.

The town connects to major cities through the Ems-Börde-Bahn railway line and offers direct access to the B1 highway for convenient transportation.

At Dyckerhoff Park, visitors can observe active quarry operations and discover 88-million-year-old limestone formations from the Upper Cretaceous period.
