history
Local history
According to Robert Pohl , the village was originally a German settlement. For centuries, the owners of the Schönborn manor were vassals of the Muskau estate , to which they joined in the second half of the 16th century. In the lord's sales deed from 1597, Schönborn is called a knight's fief. The owners at that time were possibly the von Rackel family , who also owned Beinsdorf , Bogendorf and the Ober-Zibelle share . Through marriage, the estate came to Rudolf von Gersdorff (1633 verifiable), who was succeeded by Heinrich von Gersdorff in 1647 as the owner of Schönborn and Bogendorf. Schönborn later passed to the von der Heyde family from Groß Särchen , and Georg Abraham von der Heyde is documented as the owner for 1709. With Johann Gottfried Tettmeyer (1769) the estate had a civil feudal bearer in the second half of the century. Another owner in the first half of the twentieth century was the Hirsch-Jahnke glassworks from Weißwasser .
In 1782 a school was founded for Merzdorf, Bogendorf and Schönborn in neighboring Merzdorf and a building was erected for it.
After Upper Lusatia was divided in the course of the Congress of Vienna in 1815 and the Prussian part was subjected to an administrative reform with newly formed districts in 1816, some actually Silesian-Saganic villages around Zibelle , including Schönborn, were included in the district of Rothenburg as exclaves with regard to the rule of Muskau ( Ob. Laus.) , Which were enclosed by the district of Sorau in the north and by the district of Sagan in the south. Only when the Sagan district was dissolved in 1932 and its western part fell to the Rothenburg district, the previous exclaves were connected to the district area.
On April 1, 1938, the somewhat larger neighboring town of Merzdorf b. Priebus (Silesia) , which was in the Sagan district until 1932, was incorporated into Schönborn.
After the Second World War, the community was east of the Oder-Neisse line and thus came to Poland. Under the name Okalenice and Marcinów , Schönborn and Merzdorf became districts of the Niwica municipality .
In the administrative reform carried out in 1975, the municipality was assigned to the Grünberg Voivodeship . After the dissolution of the Niwica municipality in 1976, Okalenice came as part of the Marcinów Schulzenamts with most of the other Schulzenamts to the Trzebiel municipality , which has been part of the re-established Żary district in the Lubusz Voivodeship since a new administrative reform in 1998/1999 .

In 1840, 77 Protestant residents lived in 18 houses in Schönborn. The population fell to 64 by 1910, 15 of them in the manor district. Nine years later, the population of the manor district had risen to 18, but that of the village had fallen to 40, so that only 58 inhabitants were recorded. Together with Merzdorf, which had 199 inhabitants in 1925, Schönborn had 231 inhabitants in 1933 and 218 in 1939.
After the Second World War, the remaining German population was expelled and the place was settled by expelled Poles from the east.
