Jettingen Castle

St. Martin Church

Jettingen's existence is first documented in 1030. The village is mentioned under the name “Üetingen” in a deed of donation from the Guelph Count Welf II . In 1363 Jettingen received market rights . The place was the seat of a lordship and belonged to the Lords of Stain since 1460, and to Count Schenk von Stauffenberg since 1747 . With the Rhine Confederation Act in 1806 he came to the Kingdom of Bavaria . In the course of the administrative reforms in Bavaria, the municipal edict of 1818 created the political community of Jettingen.

On January 1, 1970, the Jettingen-Scheppach community was founded through the voluntary merger of the communities of Jettingen and Scheppach .
