history

The place was first mentioned in 1303 as "Atzenhoven" when the Nuremberg burgrave Konrad ceded the Hofmark Fürth, to which Atzenhof also belonged, to the cathedral chapter in Bamberg. The defining word of the place name is the personal name Atzo.

At the end of the 18th century there were 15 properties in Atzenhof. The high court exercised the Brandenburg-Ansbach city bailiff Langenzenn . The village and township government had the bambergische Dompropsteiamt Fürth held. The landlords were the Dompropsteiamt Fürth (1 yard, 8 Gütlein, 4 little houses, 1 shepherd's house) and a Mr. Bauer zu Vach (1 yard).

As part of the community edict, Atzenhof was assigned to the Unterfarrnbach tax district formed in 1808 . It also belonged to the rural community of Unterfarrnbach , which was founded in the same year . On January 1st, 1918 Atzenhof was incorporated into Fürth.

1916 was military airfield Atzenhof established by the airport train with the track Nuremberg-Würzburg was connected. From 1920 to 1934 there was an international airport here before the airport in the Nuremberg district of Marienberg was opened. From 1934 took Reich Air Force the area until the invasion of the Americans on April 18, 1945 as a military airfield .

After 1945 the airfield was first used by the United States Air Force as a military base with flight operations and then by the US Army until 1993 under the name "Monteith Barracks" as the location of a tank unit and as an Army Airfield (AAF).

After the US Army withdrew, the site was used for civilian purposes, with the partially listed historic building stock being preserved.

The hill ( 49 ° 31 ′  N , 10 ° 58 ′  E ) of the former garbage dump is greened and is now available as a walking area. The view of Erlangen , Nuremberg , Fürth , the Alte Veste ( Zirndorf ) and Vach is impressive. You can also watch the planes approaching Nuremberg Airport from here . There is a golf course at the foot of the mountain . The large trough bridge of the Rhine-Main-Danube Canal over the Zenngrund is also impressive.

Since 1995, gas has been extracted from the interior of the high-level landfill to generate electricity (approx. 1 million m³ annually). In late summer 2003, the city of Fürth, together with the regional solar industry, built the largest solar power plant in Northern Bavaria on the southern slope of the 60 m high mountain. The photovoltaic system was officially connected to the grid on December 23, 2003 and is expected to produce 957,000 kilowatt hours of electricity annually. The citizens of the region contributed 1 million euros to the total investment of 4.65 million euros and the city of Fürth contributed 500,000 euros. The new use has given the hill the name energy or solar mountain.
