Geisenhausen was first mentioned in a document in 980 and received market rights in 1393.
The parish church St. Martin from the second half of the 15th century is a brick building in gothic style similar to its larger namesake in Landshut. Historic middle-class houses line part of market square and main road. The church of St. Theobald was a destiny of pilgrimages from about 1390 to 1790.
Geisenhausen is linked with the rail system of the Deutsche Bahn. The Bundesstraße 299, an important road, bypasses the market town.
