history

Until the 19th century

On April 14, 1109, Igensdorf was mentioned for the first time as "Diedungsdorf", probably named after a tribal leader named Dieto, in the confirmation bull regarding the foundation of the Weißenohe monastery , issued by Pope Paschal II . From the beginning of the 16th to the beginning of the 19th century it belonged to the Hiltpoltstein nursing office in Nuremberg . On January 30, 1804, Igensdorf became Prussian because it was added to the Prussian base in Baiersdorf . With the Rheinbund act in 1806, the place became part of Bavaria. Igensdorf briefly became Austrian in 1809, then French until 1811, when it came to Graefenberg and thus became Bavarian again.

Formation of the new community of Igensdorf

On January 1, 1972, the previously independent municipalities of Dachstadt, Pettensiedel, Rüsselbach and Stöckach were incorporated into the newly formed municipality of Igensdorf as part of the municipal reform. Only Frohnhof was assigned to the Eckental market from June 1, 1972 on the basis of a vote . Originally the community of Igensdorf was to be assigned to the administrative community of Graefenberg. The local council did not see a citizen-friendly solution in this project, especially since decisive administrative tasks were performed in Graefenberg and the citizens felt compelled to travel there in order to have their concerns processed. With the argument that a community of around 3,000 inhabitants is not too small to be able to work properly, the community representatives sought renewed independence and achieved this on January 1, 1980. This was celebrated with an ecumenical service.

The granting of market rights for the municipality of Igensdorf on August 23, 1980 marked the end of this development.

Incorporations

On January 1, 1975, the previously independent municipality of Pommer was incorporated.
