history

Geiseldorf is first mentioned in 1330 as Geislendorff ("Village of Gisela") and is on the land of Gisela von Assach and Eberhard von Öblarn, who probably founded it around 1140. Since they were childless, the village first passed to the Dunkelsteiners and, after frequently changing rulers, to the Vorau Abbey (confirmed in 1358). In 1644 Geiseldorf came to the Counts of Saurau and the Schielleiten rule . Because of its border location, it was - like Unterbuch - attacked and burned by the Magyars, Turks, Heiducken and Kuruzen, whereby the respective reconstruction progressed only slowly due to lack of wood.

In 1850, when the local congregations were created after the revolution of 1848/49 , Geiseldorf became independent.

Parish mergers

• In 1959 it was united with the Buch zu Buch-Geiseldorf community . Until 2012 the community belonged to the Hartberg district .
• Since January 1st, 2013 Geiseldorf belongs to the newly created municipality Buch-St. Magdalena and since 2015 to the Hartberg-Fürstenfeld district .

Traffic history

In 1891 the continuation of the Fehring – Fürstenfeld local railway to Hartberg was built and opened on October 19 of that year. This led past the place and Geiseldorf got a rail connection.

The Geiseldorf stop of the Thermenbahn was closed around 2006 (the number of boarding and disembarking passengers per working day had fallen to 0 in 2004).

The overland road through Safental (Hartberg - Fürstenfeld) had always been an important route, which had favored the development of the town.

In the 1980s, the south A 2 motorway was built, which cuts through the local area. The construction lot junction (ASt) Hartberg - ASt Ilz-Fürstenfeld (right-hand lane) with an extent of 23 km was opened on December 10, 1983. On October 31, 1989, the left lane followed in the section ASt Hartberg - ASt Sebersdorf – Bad Waltersdorf (the continuation to Ilz could only be released in 1991, the bridge at Bad Waltersdorf even later).

The L 401 Hartbergerstraße runs parallel through the village ( Lebing / Wechsel Straße B 54 - Fürstenfeld / Fürstenfelder Straße B 319, approx. Km 6.9–8.0). The Sebersdorf – Bad Waltersdorf junction of the A 2 near Sebersdorf (exit 126/127) is three kilometers south.
