[edit]

Itter is first mentioned in a deed dating back to 902 as „Uitaradorf“, when the hamlet was owned by the bishopric of Regensburg.[3]

## Sights

[edit]

The small castle of the village, Itter Castle, was a prison for French high personalities during World War II. Two days before the war ended, a battle was fought there against the Waffen-SS, one of two occasions when American and German forces fought on the same side during the war.
