Geichsenhof (Geiksəhūf [2]) is a district of the municipality Neuendettelsau in the Ansbach district in Middle Franconia.

The place was first mentioned in a purchase letter 1259 as "Geseze" [4], 1402 was the name "Geyssenhoff". From this it can be concluded that goats were originally kept on the farm. [2]

The Geichsenhof was originally owned by the Lords of Pfefferbalg. In 1259 Heinrich Pfefferbalg, pressed by debt, sold the farm to Edelwinus, the ninth abbot of the Heilsbronn monastery. The monastery managed the farm for centuries until its dissolution in 1578. From the year 1369 it is reported that 400 sheep, 6 horses, 5 cows, 3 calves belonged to the farm and that he was free of debt. [5]

In the 16-point report of the Oberamt Windsbach from 1608, 1 team was recorded for Geichsenhof, which was owned by the Heilsbronn Monastery Administrator. The high court exercised the Brandenburg-Ansbachian caste and city bailiff's office in Windsbach. [6] During the Thirty Years' War the courtyard was burned down in 1636, the owners were killed. He desolated and fell into office. It was not until 1657 that two buyers (Georg Appold and Hans Geiger) were found, who received the farm with 136 acres of arable land, 141⁄2 day work meadows, 9 acres of forest for 66 guilders with the obligation to give 4 Simra Kornalid in the first year, then annually 1 more Simra until 10 Simra were reached. The owners could not comply with this, after all the farm fell back to rule in 1669. Seven years later it was sold for 180 guilders.
