history

At the time of the early Middle Ages, there was a castle stable on the site of Frohnhof, which has since been abandoned . The origin of the village is likely to have taken place between around 1050 and 1100, when the region was opened up and settled by Bavarian settlers from the south . During the late Middle Ages , Frohnhof came into the possession of the imperial city of Nuremberg and thus belonged to the so-called Old Landscape . In administrative terms, the imperial city assigned the village to its Hiltpoltstein nursing office , which was established in 1503 and which also exercised the jurisdiction of the highest courts . The village and community rule, on the other hand, was exercised alternately by the Nuremberg hospital office Heilig-Geist and the imperial baron von Egloffstein-Büg . A profound change for Frohnhof took place in 1806, when the imperial city of Nuremberg with its remaining land was annexed by the Kingdom of Bavaria in violation of the imperial constitution. Together with the rest of the Hiltpoltstein nursing department, Frohnhof became Bavarian.

As a result of the administrative reforms carried out in the Kingdom of Bavaria at the beginning of the 19th century , Frohnhof became part of the rural community of Pettensiedel with the second community edict , which also included the village of Etlaswind and the two hamlets Haselhof and Affalterbach . In the course of the municipal territorial reform carried out in Bavaria in the 1970s , Frohnhof was incorporated into Igensdorf at the beginning of 1972 with the entire municipality of Pettensiedel. Just five months later, however, the place was changed into the municipality of Forth at its own request and, together with it, a month later became part of the newly formed municipality of Eckental. In 2019 Frohnhof had 262 residents.

traffic

The connection to the public road network is mainly made by the state road St 2240 , which, coming from the south-east of Forth, turns in Frohnhof to the west-south-west and then continues to Steinbach . A community road branches off from the center and leads north-northwest to the neighboring village of Affalterbach, which is about a kilometer away and is already in Upper Franconia .
