history
,_12-2012,_02.jpg)
Schönwald was founded in the 13th century. The first documentary mention took place in 1437, when Emperor Sigismund lent the goods Schonwalde and Linienwalde , which were fiefdomed by the Crown of Bohemia and which had fallen back, to his loyal Wolf Teler .
In 1477 it already belonged to the Graupen rule , with which it remained until 1580, when Tam von Sebottendorf bought the villages of Schönwald, Nollendorf and Peterswald . The manor and the Meierhof are likely to date from this period. In 1708 the castle was built by Count Franz Ignaz Wratislaw von Mitrowitz , as can be seen from the inscription above the front door. In 1766 the Meierhof building was rebuilt by his grandson Franz Karl. A part of the elongated Meierhof building was the brewery, it had strong walls, solid vaults and, in addition to the brewery, contained appropriate cellars and apartments for the staff. The builder was probably Peter de Versa . The brewery was closed in 1918. The Meierhof and Schloss now belong to the town of Aussig . The little church that stood in the cemetery was burned down by the Swedes in 1639 , but rebuilt (in the cemetery) in 1656. The current church dates from 1790. On the outside of the church, to the left of the sacristy, a memorial plaque commemorates Count Josef Rudolf von Schönfeld, whose heart was inserted in a soldered sheet metal capsule behind this plaque, which was walled into the old church in 1707 was. He was the founder of the old hospital , which stood from 1706 to 1813 and was rebuilt as an asylum in 1909 by Ottokar Graf von Westphalen zu Fürstenberg (owner of the Kulm estate ).
In the Thirty Years' War , in the Silesian Wars (1813 at the Battle of Kulm and 1866 in the German War ) Schönwald suffered a lot from the troops passing through. After the Battle of Kulm in 1813, the Cossacks drove the French beyond Schönwald into the valley near the Sattelberge , where most of the French were killed. The field name Mordgrund appears in documents as early as 1609 (Peterswalder court book from 1572, fol 679). In administrative terms, Schönwald formed a municipality in the judicial district of Karbitz or in the district of Außenig from the mid-19th century .
North of Schönwald rises the Špičák u Krásného Lesa ( Sattelberg , 723 m), which owes its creation to a basalt eruption from two chimneys. The upper part is made of basalt , on the north side there are also sandstone rocks. In 1906 a shelter was built at the foot of the rock. The D 8 motorway , which is the extension of the A 17 , also runs at the foot of the Sattelberg. A massive stone cross stands northeast of the Sattelberge on the Saxon border. The beer teller Josef Walter from Schönwald No. 148 had it built in memory of his daughter who died there on June 3, 1823 in an assassination , hence the name Walterkreuz . In 1840, the master miller Ferdinand Rosenkranz built the Peter and Paul Chapel. On July 8 and 9, 1927, Schönwald was hit by a severe flood . In 1991 the place had 104 inhabitants. In 2001 the village consisted of 42 houses in which 112 people lived.
