History and sights
When Isenbrunn was first mentioned in a document in 1129, the local nobility "Heinrich von Izenbrunne" was mentioned. 1179 confirmed Pope Alexander III. the possession of the Eichstätter cathedral church, including the Meierhof in "Gisenbrunn". In 1282 Heinrich von Hofstetten , donor from the Hirschberg Counts , acquired the village's Meierhof from the Eichstätter cathedral chapter as a personal property . In 1291 the cathedral dean received two fish waters from the cathedral chapter in "Isenprunne". In the dispute over the Hirschberg legacy between Eichstätt and Bavaria, Isenbrunn was awarded to the Prince Diocese of Eichstätt in 1305, where it remained until 1802. In 1806 it became royal Bavarian and incorporated into the Kipfenberg district court . In 1818 Isenbrunn and Rieshofen merged into one community; The parish seat was Rieshofen. In 1959 and again in 1990, land consolidation measures were carried out in Isenbrunn . In the municipal area reform , the village with Rieshofen joined the municipality of Walting on January 1, 1972 .
1480 Isenbrunn is named as one of the four branches of the parish of Gungolding. The church of St. Laurentius , free-standing on a hill above the village, is much older, possibly of pre-Romanesque origin. It was rebuilt in 1702. It contains a four-column rococo high altar from approx. 1730 to 1750 with a late Gothic statue of Laurentius (approx. 1500), which the art historian Felix Mader describes as “a slim, noble appearance, elegant in posture and free to move”. A rosary Madonna from the beginning of the 16th century is, according to him, a “good, expressive creation of the late Gothic ”. In 1928 the church received two bells, one of which was melted down during World War II. In 1982 a second bell was hung again. For the patronage (August 10), a solemn Sunday service takes place every year, usually in front of the church, in which several hundred people take part each time.
Coming from Rieshofen there is a relief-decorated Marterl , which a prince-bishop's clerk named Martin Hanschildt had built in 1652. A weathered medieval cross stone is two meters away .
