Paul Schönebner
Paul Schönebner (* before 1585 in Zwettl ; † October 4, 1613 in Vienna ) was an Austrian Cistercian and from 1601 to 1613 abbot of the Heiligenkreuz Abbey.
Life
Born in Zwettl in Lower Austria, Schönebner made his profession in the Heiligenkreuz Abbey around 1585 and was ordained a priest in 1587. Prior since April 1597, he was appointed administrator after the death of Abbot Johannes Rueff in 1599 and elected abbot in 1601. Due to the poor economic conditions of the monastery, it was suspended by the economic administration in 1610, as the monastery could no longer pay its taxes, and deposed in 1613 by order of the emperor. He died of the plague in the autumn of that year .
