Gießen (ook wel Giessen) is de grootste stad en middelpunt van Oberhessen, een belangrijke universiteitsstad, verkeersknooppunt alsook administratief centrum voor het Regeringsdistrict Giessen en het district Giessen.
Door de geringe (normale) industrie die er is in Giessen is de nadruk meer komen te liggen op de immer toenemende dienstenindustrie, de vermaarde Justus-Liebig-Universiteit, en zijn centrale ligging in het hart van Duitsland, de directe nabijheid van het Rijn-Main gebied en goede verkeersverbindingen.
Giessen ligt aan de rivier, de Lahn, juist daar, waar ze haar loop van zuidelijke in westelijke richting verandert, in één van de zeldzame uitbreidingen van het Lahndal.

 European Origin
Alexander Mack of Schriesheim would seek refuge from religious persecution in the district of Wittgenstein near the village of Schwarzenau and organize a new religious group in 1708, founded on the principles of Pietism and Anabaptism.
During this time, citizens were forced to belong to the religion of their district, and in times of war or domestic unrest, changes in nobility and their religious disposition could be frequent.
Numerous attempts were made to formally record a basic consensus of Anabaptism by it's followers, and the most notable is the Schleitheim Confession of 1527, named after the German city where their early leaders met.

 Germany 17 December 2002 District Court Giessen [translation available]
The District Court of Gießen, invoked by [buyer], is competent to decide the lawsuit internationally and locally.
Because the parties dispute both jurisdiction and the substantive issues, while the reasonable justification of the petition will probably require further clarification of the matter, for the time being it seems adequate to rule on the jurisdiction of the court in an interlocutory judgment (§ 303 ZPO [*]).
The international jurisdiction of the German courts and the local jurisdiction of the District Court of Gießen result from the place of performance of [seller]’s obligations — the performance of which is claimed now — being at the [buyer]’s place of business which is taken to be the place of the company's registration.

Map analysis: the surname only occurs mainly in two of the 40 regions: in northern Hesse (district Kassel, 10 entries per 100,000) and in central Hessen (district Gießen, 4.8 entries per 100,000).
The relatively high number of Neusel in the Düsseldorf district also indicate an origin of that name in this area (there, the surname might be evolved from a place name, the rather large city of Neuss).
Nevertheless the main area for Neusel (and Neussel) are the Hessian districts Kassel and Gießen.
