About Giesenschlag Cemetery
Prussian immigrants Johann Joachim Giesenschlag and his wife Anna settled in Texas in 1855, moving to Burleson County in the 1870s to farm over 1,000 acres. Giesenschlag set aside this tract as a family burial ground and was its first interment. In 1883 the family donated the cemetery to Evangelical Lutheran Trinity Church.
HISTORY HAPPENED HERE at Giesenschlag Cemetery
Prussian born Johann Joachim Giesenschlag (1817-80), his wife Anna (Schulze), and their children came to Texas in 1855. Settling first in Washington County, they moved to Burleson County in the 1870s and bought over 1,000 acres here. Giesenschlag set aside this tract for a family cemetery, and was the first to be interred here. In 1883 members of his family donated the property to the Evangelical Lutheran Trinity Church at Mound Prairie. For many years a schoolhouse was located on former Giesenschlag land adjacent to this pioneer cemetery. Source: https://atlas.thc.texas.gov/Details/5051008635
