history

Itzing is first mentioned in a document from the first half of the 12th century. There the place is called "Ozzingun", i. H. to the people of an ouzo or uzo. But already between 1057 and 1075 Bishop Gundekar II of Eichstätt consecrated a church in honor of St. Michael, who is still the patron of the local church today. The nave fresco Christ the King with Walburga, Willibald, Michael and Angels, adored by the villagers, was painted in 1944 by the painter Josef Wittmann . The draft for this fresco has been preserved and is in the Diocesan Museum in Regensburg, where the entire estate of drafts for church painting by Josef Wittmann is. In the Thirty Years' War Itzing was destroyed for the most part. The church was rebuilt in 1748 and restored for the first time in 1915/20.

On May 1, 1978, the previously independent community was incorporated into the city of Monheim.
