Beautiful, historic hamlet from 1345, which is situated in a beautiful and quiet location in the Aischwiesen on the Aischtalradweg.

The isolated village lies on the Aisch River and a nameless stream, which flows into the Aisch River there as a left tributary. A municipal road leads to Gerhardshofen (0.7 km northeast) and Rappoldshofen (1.1 km southwest).

The village was first mentioned in documents in 1345 as "Ekkenhofen."[5] Since 1506, a farm belonged to the Imperial City of Nuremberg.[6]

Towards the end of the 18th century, there were three estates in Eckenhof. The high court and the village and municipal authority were exercised by the Brandenburg-Bayreuth Caste and Jurisdiction Office of Dachsbach. The landowners were the Birkenfeld Monastery Office (1 wide estate) and the State Alms Office of the Imperial City of Nuremberg (2 half-farms).[7]

From 1797 to 1810, the village was under the jurisdiction of the Dachsbach Justice Office and the Neustadt Chamber Office. As part of the municipal edict, Eckenhof was assigned to the tax district of Gutenstetten, formed in 1811, and to the rural municipality of Pahres, formed in 1813. With the Second Municipal Edict (1818), it was reassigned to Gerhardshofen.
