Between Ilbling and Kinding in 1996, in connection with the construction of the ICE line, a crouching skeleton from the Neolithic ceramic cord epoch (approx. 2500 years BC) and a grave find from the subsequent bell-cup culture were made. There is evidence of a settlement from the Urnfield period , and a burial mound field from the Hallstatt period was excavated from 1995–1998. Middle Imperial Roman pottery was found in a sand pit at Ilbling.

The place was already Christianized when the Anglo-Saxon monk Willibald came to the area as a missionary in the 8th century. From 1129 to 1221 a local nobility is mentioned who was in the ministerial services of Eichstätt and Arnsberg and sat on the - not localized - Willenstein. In the Middle Ages, Ilbling was an independent parish . From 1898 to 1960 (until 1930 in narrow-gauge operation) the village had a rail connection (stop board) to the then disbanded Altmühltalbahn.

Attractions

  • The village church of St. Briccius , a branch church of Enkering , dates from the 12th century. The baroque period enlarged all windows except for the Romanesque choir window and gave the tower its top floor with today's conclusion, a brick helmet. The three-axis, flat-roofed nave was extended by an axis with an organ gallery in 1884/85. The stucco ceiling from 1748 was replaced by a flat ceiling and the church was painted by the Nazarene artist and pastor from Enkering Sebastian Mutzl . There are three late Gothic wooden sculptures of works of art in the church . A wooden figure of St. Briccius from the early 14th century moved from the Ilblingen church to the Eichstätt diocesan museum in the 19th century. 1920 was a Bittner - organ installed. The late medieval charnel house with half-timbered gable is now used as a morgue. The church was thoroughly renovated in 2008 (see [1] ).
  • There are still some half-timbered buildings in the village .
