history

The first mention of Itter comes from the year 1126. Initially, the place was called "Dorpytere" in the deed of the Lords of Löwenstein (1251), from 1329 "Dorfyttere" is handed down.

The large dumps and the colliery still bear witness to the intensive copper mining that lasted from the sinking of the first shaft by Ludwig Balthasar Müller in 1709/10 to 1868 . Instead of the Bartholomäus chapel from the 13th century, today's Protestant church was built using medieval components, including an altarpiece made of late Gothic and Baroque components and a crucifix from the 14th century.

On February 1, 1971, the municipalities of Dorfitter, Thalitter and Herzhausen merged to form the new municipality of Ittertal as part of the regional reform in Hesse . On 1 January 1974, the municipality Ittertal was powerful state law with Hessenstein (consisting of the former municipalities Buchenberg , Ederbringhausen , Harbshausen , Kirchlotheim , Niederorke , Oberorke and Schmittlotheim ), Marie Hagen , Obernburg and Vohl for new large village Vöhl together . Local districts were established for all formerly independent communities .
