Until the church is planted

The place was first mentioned by name in 1216 as "Gesselere". It was not until 1528/29 that today's form "Geslau" was attested. The place name should mean: who lives in the alley . But it can also refer to a personal name such as "Geso" and the name of the settlement -lar, -lohr.

In the 16-point report of the Brandenburg-Ansbach Oberamt Colmberg from 1608, 26 teams are recorded for Geslau: 23 properties were subordinate to the Kastenamt Colmberg , 2 properties Wolff Balthasar von Seckendorff and 1 property to the Hohenlohe-Schillingsfürstischen Amt Schillingsfürst .
