Fürth Airfield is a former military airfield located in Germany about 2 miles north-northeast of the city center of Fürth in the neighborhood "Atzenhof" ; approximately 200 miles south-southwest of Berlin. During the Weimar Republic it served as the principal civil aviation hub of the Nuremberg metropolitan region. Today, the airfield is abandoned and parts of the facility remain undeveloped as a relic. A golf course now covers parts of the former airport grounds.

  • Der Industrieflughafen Nürnberg-Fürth (auch nur: Flughafen Nürnberg-Fürth) war vom 2. Januar 1950 bis 6. April 1955 der internationale Flughafen der fränkischen Stadt Nürnberg. Er lag im benachbarten Fürth und diente nach der Zerstörung des Flughafens am Marienberg im Zweiten Weltkrieg bis zur Eröffnung 1955 des heutigen Nürnberger Flughafens im Stadtteil Kraftshof als vorübergehendes Provisorium. Bereits 1920 wurde an dieser Stelle ein erster Flugplatz für die Gothaer Waggonfabrik errichtet, der 1938 für den Zulieferbetrieb der deutschen Luftfahrtindustrie ausgebaut wurde. Nach dem Zweiten Weltkrieg diente der Flugplatz noch eine Zeit lang den Truppen der USAAF. (de)

  • Fürth Airfield is a former military airfield located in Germany about 2 miles north-northeast of the city center of Fürth in the neighborhood "Atzenhof" ; approximately 200 miles south-southwest of Berlin. During the Weimar Republic it served as the principal civil aviation hub of the Nuremberg metropolitan region. In World War I there was a training center of the Royal Bavarian Air Force. In the 1920s it was the first international airport of the cities Nürnberg and Fürth. The importance of the airport increased further when Junkers transferred first its central repair workshop, and then the final assembly line for its F-13 and G-24 aircraft from Dessau to Fürth. In 1935 it became again an airfield of the Luftwaffe. The airfield was used during World War II by the German Luftwaffe as a combat airfield. It was seized in early April 1945 by the United States Army and used as a Ninth Air Force combat airfield until the end of the war in Europe. Afterwards the "Army Airfield Station Fürth" was established here, being closed in June 1947. Then it became "Monteith-Barracks" of the US Army till it was closed in 1993. Today, the airfield is abandoned and parts of the facility remain undeveloped as a relic. A golf course now covers parts of the former airport grounds. About 2 km south of this Airfield there was the so-called "Industrieflughafen" In 1919 there was a factory of the Gothaer Waggonfabrik and in the late 1930s it was the airport of the Bachmann von Bluhmenthal Company (Industrieflughafen Fürth). Here till 1945 Bf 110s where build, repaired and converted into Nightfighters. At the end of the war it became Army Airfield R-30, then it became Nürnberg auxiliary International Airport till the mid of the 1950s when the new Nürnberg International Airport was finished. Today it is completely overbuild and known as the Hardhöhe. A small plaque in the access tunnel to the subway station Fürth Hardhöhe station is the only visible reminder of that airport today. (en)
