history
Geiselbach is mentioned in a document in 1269 in a purchase contract between the Seligenstadt Monastery and the Archbishopric of Mainz , between Abbot Conrad and Archbishop Werner.
There is also an earlier document from 1250, in which there is a dispute between the brothers Friedrich and Heinrich von Rannenberg and Reinhard von Hanau over goods and rights in Geiselbach.
After 1269, the Seligenstadt monastery ceded its rights in Geiselbach to the noble families von Büdingen, von Hanau, von Rannenberg and the knight Erpho von Orb.
In 1278 the Gelnhausen patrician Irmgard Ungefüge took over the Bailiwick Geiselbach with the villages Geiselbach, Omersbach and Hofstädten. In three documents dated May 25, 1278, the Seligenstadt Abbey and Mrs. Irmgard agreed that the abbey could buy back all rights from her at better times. Before the turn of the century (1290), the knight Erpho von Orb was once again named as Vogt in Geiselbach.
The Seligenstadt monastery retained power over Geiselbach until secularization . In 1802, troops of the Landgraviate of Hessen-Darmstadt occupied the monastery, and on April 1, 1803, with the Reichsdeputationshauptschluss , it officially fell to Hessen-Darmstadt. Geiselbach belonged to the Landgraviate for the following years and from 1806 to the Grand Duchy of Hesse . In 1811 the villages of Geiselbach, Omersbach and Hofstädten were incorporated into the Grand Ducal Hessian Office of Alzenau . On January 30, 1816, the Grand Duchy and the Kingdom of Bavaria signed a treaty that agreed to exchange a number of areas: Geiselbach came to Bavaria.
Geiselbach and the Alzenau office were incorporated into the third class district court of Alzenau on January 1, 1817. On September 3, 1858 Geiselbach moved from the regional court of the older order Alzenau to the then newly formed regional court of the older order Schöllkrippen.
On July 1, 1862, administration and justice were separated in the Kingdom of Bavaria. The newly created district court Schöllkrippen was now responsible for the judiciary in the municipality of Geiselbach, the district of which remained unchanged from that of the district court of the older order Schöllkrippen. The district court of Aschaffenburg was superordinate to this district court Schöllkrippen.
The administrative area of the regional court of the older order Schöllkrippen was also merged with the administrative area of the regional court of the older order of Alzenau on July 1, 1862, thus forming the district office of Alzenau . On January 1, 1939, this was renamed the Alzenau district in Lower Franconia . With the dissolution of the Alzenau district in Lower Franconia, Geiselbach came to the newly formed Aschaffenburg district on July 1, 1972 .
On January 1, 1972, the previously independent municipality of Omersbach was incorporated into Geiselbach, while the municipality of Hofstädten, which was also part of the former Geiselbach bailiwick, came to Schöllkrippen in 1978 .
From May 1, 1978, the municipality of Geiselbach and the municipalities of Blankenbach, Kleinkahl, Krombach, Schöllkrippen, Sommerkahl, Westerngrund and Wiesen were members of the Schöllkrippen administrative community . On January 1, 1994, the Geiselbach community was released from the Schöllkrippen administrative community at its own initiative.
On January 1, 2015, the western part of the former community-free area Geiselbacher Forst was incorporated into the community.

coat of arms
Blazon : "In red the golden capital letter A, accompanied by two at the top and a six-pointed silver star at the bottom."
Coat of arms since August 1967. |
|
History of the coat of arms: The municipality of Geiselbach was acquired by the Seligenstadt Monastery in 1296 from the Archbishopric of Mainz for an undisclosed price. It belonged with the neighboring towns of Hofstädten and Omersbach to the bailiwick of the “three villages”, through which the monastery acquired manorial power and jurisdiction . The capital A (Abbatio) in the coat of arms is the monastery coat of arms of the Seligenstadt Monastery and indicates the close manorial relationship with the Seligenstadt Abbey until the secularization in 1802. The three six-pointed stars symbolize the "three villages parish". The colors silver and red are the colors of Kurmainz and remind of its sovereignty until 1803.

Oddities
"Hochseicher" are show-offs who emit a particularly high stream when urinating. The people of Geiselbach have always wanted to be something special in Kahlgrund , which is why the neighboring towns gave the showers the nickname - Ortsneckname "Gaselbischer Hochseicher".
A ridiculous verse has also been passed down by Geiselbach: Dreidörfer Narrn stand on three sparrn , this is also the title of the book by the linguist Almut König ( University of Würzburg ) about place names in Lower Franconia , published in 2012 .
