It remains to be seen whether the “Gutteshusa” mentioned in documents from the Eichstätt diocese around 900 is today's Kittenhausen. When the Wolfstein-Sulzbürger founded the Seligenporten convent in 1249 , the foundations of their own property included three goods in "Kytenhulen". According to Möning's description of the parish from 1542, the small tenth of Kittenhausen was due to the Möning priest. In 1556 Count Palatine Ottheinrich introduced the Reformation . In 1603 the auxiliary bishop of Eichstätt sold the tithe of Kittenhausen. In 1625, during the Counter Reformation under Count Palatine Wolfgang Wilhelm, the parish of Möning and thus also Kittenhausen became Catholic again.

Towards the end of the Old Kingdom , in 1800, Kitten Hausen consisted of eight subjects estate of various sizes, were under the manorial and down the court two different offices: Two shepherds houses belonged to the Upper Hofmark Berngau of kurbaierischen mayor Office Neumarkt, all other courts which also kurbaierischen Monastery judge Seligenporten with own box office in Neumarkt. These were four entire courtyards on which the subjects Pröbster, again Probster, Werner and Rupp sat, three half-courtyards for the subjects Wittengauer, Beyer and Probster, and an eighth yard. The high jurisdiction exercised the mayor's office in Neumarkt.

In the new Kingdom of Bavaria (1806), the Röckersbühl tax district (today part of Berngau ) was established in the Altmühlkreis between 1810 and 1820 , to which Kittenhausen was also assigned. With the community edict of 1818 Kittenhausen came to the rural community of Mittelricht (today part of the community of Berngau) and in 1935 to the community of Sondersfeld. This was assigned to the district court (from 1862 district office, from 1879 district) Neumarkt im Regenkreis . In 1875 there were ten horses and 107 head of cattle in the village.

With the regional reform in Bavaria , the municipality of Sondersfeld was incorporated into the city of Freystadt on January 1, 1972. Since then, Kittenhausen has been one of 33 named districts in the city of Freystadt.
