Gisela came from the aristocratic family of key mountain , previously of Greifenstein . She was a daughter of Eberhard IV von Greifenstein-Schlüsselberg († 1283) and Elisabeth von Hohenzollern-Nuremberg . In 1280 Eberhard together with his sons Gottfried von Schlüsselberg and Konrad I von Schlüsselberg founded the Schlüsselau Monastery as the house monastery and burial place of his family and appointed his daughter Gisela as the first abbess. She previously belonged to the Cistercian convent of the Mariaburghausen Monastery , which is why it is believed that the first nuns came from there.
