history
middle Ages
The name "Issenhausen" has an Alemannic origin and was derived from " iron " because iron ore was mined there.
The village had been owned by the Lords of Lichtenberg as an allod since the beginning of the 13th century . In the rule of Lichtenberg it was in the Buchsweiler office , which was established as an office there at the beginning of the 14th century .
Anna von Lichtenberg (* 1442; † 1474), daughter of Ludwig V. von Lichtenberg (* 1417; † 1474), and one of two heirs with claims to the rule, married Count Philip I the Elder of Hanau-Babenhausen in 1458 (* 1417; † 1480). He had received a small secondary school from the holdings of the County of Hanau in order to be able to marry her. The county of Hanau-Lichtenberg came into being through the marriage . After the death of the last Lichtenberger, Jakob von Lichtenberg , an uncle of Anna, Philipp I. d. Ä. 1480 half of the Lichtenberg rule. The other half went to his brother-in-law, Simon IV.

Count Philip IV of Hanau-Lichtenberg (1514–1590), after taking office in 1538, consistently carried out the Reformation in his county, which now became Lutheran .
With France's reunification policy under King Louis XIV , the Buchsweiler office came under French sovereignty. The pioneer - officer Guillin from Neuf-Brisach in 1702 mentioned the place in a report under the name "Geisvueiller". After the death of the last Hanau count, Johann Reinhard III.
