Live and act

Gotthelf Friedrich von Schönberg came from the Saxon noble family von Schönberg and was the second eldest son of the chief miner Georg Friedrich von Schönberg and Margarethe von Polenz . After attending the Lutheran city high school in Halle (Saale) , he began studying law in Leipzig in 1649 , and in Tübingen from 1652 , which he successfully completed in 1654. In 1656 he came to the court of the Saxon Elector Johann Georg II and in 1659 took over the office of chief tax collector. In 1666 he became Chamberlain , 1675 President of the Court of Appeal and in 1679 he was elevated to the Real Privy Council . Elector Friedrich August I, the Strong , appointed him director of the senior tax council in 1696, from which he resigned in 1703.

In 1656 he bought the manor Bieberstein von Nickel von Schönberg for 25,750 guilders and from 1666 had most of the building demolished down to the foundation walls and rebuilt in its present basic form. On his estate Lockwitz near Dresden he had the castle church renewed from 1699 to 1702 and also rebuilt in the Baroque style. Around 1675, to revive ore mining after the Thirty Years' War, he made about fifteen hectares of land available for founding a mining village, which in 1685 was named Gotthelffriedrichsgrund .
