He learned the trade of bricklaying and later engaged in brick manufacturing. He was a member of the Enrolled Missouri Militia, was a member of the St. Louis City Council in 1867 and 1868 and was a member of the Missouri House of Representatives from 1868 to 1870. Ittner served in the Missouri Senate from 1870 to 1876 and was elected a Republican to the United States House of Representatives in 1876, serving from 1877 to 1879, declined to be a candidate for renomination in 1878. Afterward, he resumed work in brick manufacturing and was president of the National Association of Builders and of the National Brick Manufacturers' Association.
