Directly on the main street you will find the birthplace of Heinrich Geißler. Johann Heinrich Wilhelm Geißle, born in Igelshieb in 1814 and died in Bonn in 1879, was a German glassblower, instrument maker and inventor of the Geissler tube, a glass low-pressure gas discharge tube, also known today as a fluorescent lamp. Today his birthplace houses a local history and technology museum.

The Geißlerhaus in Igelshieb (town of Neuhaus am Rennweg) is located directly on the Rennsteig and is very eye-catching even from the outside.
