Fürth Airfield is a former military airfield located in Germany about 2 miles north-northeast of Fürth (Bavaria); approximately 200 miles south-southwest of Berlin.
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. After the war "Army Airfield Station Fürth" was established at the airfield, being closed in June 1947.
Today, the airfield is abandoned and parts of the facility remains undeveloped as a relic.
