history

Geislohe was founded at the end of the 13th century by Marshal Heinrich V von Pappenheim on the old Roman road . Together with the three other so-called Grafendörfern Göhren , Neudorf and Osterdorf it was created as a clearing village. It is mentioned for the first time in a document from 1416. The place name is derived from Geisloch , meaning a drinking pond for animals in the center of the village green.

In 1474, Sölden can be identified for the first time in Geislohe . These were small agricultural goods whose owners mostly also had a non-agricultural occupation. In the Thirty Years' War the place was almost depopulated, after which exiles from the land above the Enns ( Austria ) settled. With the municipal edict at the beginning of the 19th century, Geislohe became a politically independent municipality to which the wasteland of Flemmühle belonged. On May 1, 1978 it was incorporated into Pappenheim.
