history

The first documentary mention as "Wikershoven" can be found in a document of the Nuremberg burgrave Friedrich III. from the year 1269. Around 1430 the place was given as "Weyckershoffen" and around 1587 as "Weickershof". The defining word of the place name is very likely the personal name Wicher. In 1557 what was then Weyckershoffen consisted of three Nuremberg farms. In 1753, Weikershof belonged to Atzenhof , Bremerstall , Dambach , Doos , Eberhardshof , Flexdorf , Gebersdorf , Gaismannshof , Höfen , Großreuth bei Schweinau , Kleinreuth bei Schweinau , Leyh , Mannhof , Muggenhof , Ober- and Unterfürberg , Poppenreuth , Schniegling , Schweinau , Stadeln , Unterfarrnbach and Wetzendorf to the court march and escort office Fürth. It can be assumed that Weikershof belonged to the former Hofmark Fürth even earlier, as the place was connected to Groß- and Kleinreuth, which were verifiably subject to interest in Fürth .

At the end of the 18th century there were six properties in Weikershof. The high court exercised the Brandenburg-Ansbach Oberamt Cadolzburg , which was contested by the imperial city of Nuremberg . The Landpflegamt Nürnberg was in charge of the village and community . Landlords were the Nuremberg owners of Ebner (2 rear seats), Imhoff (3 rear seats) and Stromer (1 rear seat).

As part of the community edict, Weikershof was assigned to the Höfen tax district formed in 1808 . It also belonged to the rural community of Höfen , which was founded in the same year . In voluntary jurisdiction, one property was subject to the Patrimonial Court (PG) Buch from 1822 to 1840 , one property from 1821 to 1835 to the PG Steinach and two properties until 1812 and from 1822 to 1836 to the PG Weikershof. The Bavarian original cadastre shows Weikershof in the 1810s as a hamlet with nine hearths.

On January 1, 1899, part of the community of Höfen and the village of Weikershof with eleven families and 67 residents were incorporated into Fürth. The building stock at that time was eight farmhouses. With parts of courtyards, the community area covered about 100 hectares and had 64 inhabitants. In 1927 the place was connected to the water supply network of the Stadtwerke Fürth. In 1945 there was an air raid on the neighboring barracks, which significantly destroyed Weikershof. After the war, the Americans occupied the place. After the Americans withdrew from the Johnson Barracks, the barracks were demolished in the 1990s and a new industrial area east of Schwabacher Strasse was opened.

The Altort Weikershof is characterized by agriculture and its construction and layout are still in their original state. A 78 hectare industrial area extends east of the settlement along Schwabacher Strasse and the canal  .
