Ițcani

[1] After the unification of Bukovina with the Kingdom of Romania in 1918, Ițcani was subsequently recorded on official population censuses by the Romanian authorities as a commune composed of two separate villages, more specifically Ițcanii Noi (German: Neu Itzkany) and Ițcani Gară (German: Itzkany Bahnhof).

Other ethnic groups recorded then in the 1930 Romanian census were also the Jews, Ukrainians, Poles, Lipovans, and Hungarians.

Immigration of the Bukovina German community of Ițcani continued to West Germany in communist times as well.

Even to this day, after the vast majority of the ethnic Germans from Ițcani were deported to Nazi-occupied Poland, the cultural heritage of this community dating to the Austrian-ruled period endured throughout the decades following the end of World War II through the local architecture of some of the houses belonging to them, the train station, and also the local churches of former Evangelical Lutheran and Roman Catholic confession.

The vast majority of the Bukovina Germans either left long ago for West Germany (some of them returning) or passed away.
