The Brönnhof is an approximately 25.3 square kilometer area in the Schweinfurt district, predominantly wooded and uninhabited. The centerpiece of the area is the former Brönnhof farmstead, after which the entire area is named. From 1936 to 2014, the area was used as a military training ground, initially by the Wehrmacht and from the 1960s onward as a training area for the US Army (the third largest US Army training area in Europe). After the withdrawal of US troops in 2014, the area lost its military function and was prepared for new uses. A central part of the Brönnhof is now designated as part of the National Natural Heritage – making it one of the largest nature reserves and development areas in Bavaria. (KI)
