Inching was first mentioned in a document in 1055. At that time, Emperor Heinrich III. the Eichstätter Church the viticulture right between Rebdorf and Inching. A " Noble Adalbert von Inchingen" was named in 1166.

In 1260, the then bishop of Eichstätt, Engelhard von Tollingen , transferred the church of Inching to the Eichstätter cathedral chapter , which ruled the village and parish until the secularization in 1806 and owned the castle until then.

Attractions

  • The Catholic branch church of St. Martin was first mentioned in a document in 1260. It was probably built under the patronage of Henry III. The tower was designed as an escape tower and even today only has a small access via the attic of the church. The first floor of the tower is the chancel facing east. Since the church was never rebuilt and consecrated, the main parts of it are likely to date from the 11th century, as are the altar stones on the side altars. With the exception of the tower, the interior was redesigned and baroque, the windows were enlarged and the entrance situation changed. The high altar from the late Rococo is decorated with the coat of arms of the cathedral provost and auxiliary bishop Heinrich von Kageneck († 1781). The age and origin of the equestrian statue of St. Martin is not known. The organ was built around 1730 and is still playable today after the restoration. In 1970 the usually closed church was carefully renovated and a new morgue was added. The ceiling pictures and medallions are an example of the New Objectivity in painting and come from the Munich painter Franz Klemmer . The painter integrated the villagers of the time. "From left to right these should be: Friedrich Adlkofer ..., Gerhard and Elisabeth Böhm, Friedl Ullmann, Theresia Pflieger, Anton Feyerle, a servant of the Beck family and Walburga Feyerle". "In the little girl on the right, the sexton Rosa Glöckl, who has since passed away, knew herself to be represented with her big sister Katharina ... In the kneeling man ... Johann Pflieger ..."
