Thomasgschiess

Thomasgschieß is a community member of the Bavarian market Eslarn in Neustadt an der Waldnaab , administrative region Upper Palatinate . The hamlet is dominated by agriculture. The place name can be traced back to different origins: to a lordly administrator named Thomas and the sloping location from Eslarn in a north-westerly direction into a valley basin, or in Old High German "geses" meaning "to be here", "sat here". A third variant of interpretation derives from gschiess from Bohemian kříž = cross, which is spoken roughly krschiejsch and was verballhornt to gschiess in Upper Palatinate.
