history
In the course of the reclamation of the area by the Břevnov monastery , the place was probably created around 1250 by German colonists. Schönau was not mentioned in the founding deed of Broumov Monastery from 1286. The village was first mentioned in a document in 1300 as one of the villages of Broumov Abbey. The wooden church of St. John was built around 1325 . In 1421 Schönau was sacked by the Hussites . The church was renewed in 1629 and new bells consecrated.
In 1725 the church burned down. In its place, a new baroque church built according to plans by Kilian Ignaz Dientzenhofer was consecrated by Abbot Othmar Zinke to St. Margaret in 1730 . After 1742 Schönau became a border village surrounded on three sides by Prussia . The old road along the Schönau brook was cut off by the border at Klein Tuntschendorf ( Tłumaczówek ), so that new traffic routes were laid over the hilltops from Rosental ( Rožmitál ) and Ottendorf . In 1758 a cholera epidemic broke out, killing a third of the population. During this time, prophecies by Schönauer Michel were spread throughout the whole of Braunauer Ländchen, the origin of which was declared to be Michael Tölg from Schönau, who cannot be historically proven. In 1775 there was an uprising by the peasants against unbearable labor burdens by the monastery. In 1791 Schönau had 1,587 inhabitants. The residents lived from agriculture and forestry; because of the remoteness there was no industry. To the south-east of Schönau, a border regulation between Prussia and Austria took place in the middle of the 19th century, during which a piece of mountain west of Flucht ( Rzędzina ) came to Silesia.
After the abolition of patrimonial Schönau formed from 1850 a community in the judicial district of Braunau or in the later district of Braunau . During the German War , the Prussians invaded in 1866. The Maria Rosenkranz cemetery church was built in 1877. In 1872 the first coal mining attempts began. In 1885 1,786 people lived in the village. Between 1901 and 1902, coal was again dug without success. Industrial settlements never took place in Šonov. There was a quarry in the place where porphyry and melaphyre were mined. There were also mining attempts on iron ore. After the Munich Agreement in 1938, Schönau, which was mainly populated by Germans, was added to the German Reich and belonged to the Braunau district until 1945 . After the Wehrmacht left the village on May 9, 1945, it was pillaged by the Red Army . On May 27, 1945, the Polish Army occupied Schönau. After the Allies decided, the village was again assigned to Czechoslovakia. In 1945 and 1946 the German residents were expelled. Pastors Alban Prause and Oskar Schmidt were murdered in the course of the wild expulsion. After the dissolution of the Okres Broumov, Šonov was assigned to the Okres Náchod in 1961. The municipality of Šonov has had a coat of arms since 2007.
