Fürth Airfield

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. The airport was renamed from "Flughafen Fürth-Nürnberg" to "Flughafen Nürnberg-Fürth" to indicate the relative importance of the two cities and because the municipal government of Nuremberg had by then taken over the majority of the (money-losing) operation. Nonetheless, all throughout the Weimar Republic, the city of Fürth tried to get rid of the financial burden and the city of Nuremberg looked for a suitable site to build an airport in Nuremberg proper – something which only came to fruition shortly after the Nazi takeover in 1933 with the opening of Marienberg Airport
