location

Saunstein is about two kilometers northwest of Schönberg not far from the federal highway 85 / federal highway 533 .

history

In the castle of Schauenstein , mentioned in 1223 and built by the Lords of Saunstein on the top of the Koxberg , the Passau bishops owned a servant seat. The castle already disappeared in the second half of the 13th century. Remains of the castle were preserved until the expansion of the quarry on the Koxberg.

In 1608 , Duke Maximilian confirmed the truce as well as the castle wood "between Rafenriedl and Saunstein" in the oldest original market privilege for Schönberg .

The local part name Saunstein refers in official usage to a farm near the former castle. To the south-west of it, the so-called “Hitler-Siedlung” with twelve houses was created in 1933/1934 at the confluence of the road coming from Spiegelau with the federal road. The measure was borne by the Schönberg market and financed with loans from the Deutsche Bau- und Bodenbank. In 1937 the existing settlement was supplemented by two no longer existing houses in the mountain style.

Little changes were made to the shape and arrangement of the other buildings. The settlement itself is now nameless. The western section is called "Regener Straße", the eastern, larger "local street on the Scheiben".

Saunstein industrial area

To the north of the settlement is the Saunstein industrial area with the gravel quarry from Thiele Granit. In the quarry there is also a natural ice rink available to Schönbergers. In 1986 the branch of S + S Separation and Sorting Technology GmbH, which was founded in Schönberg in 1976 and is a world leader in the development and manufacture of detection, separation and sorting systems, was established nearby. Other companies present in the Saunstein industrial area are Bolta Industrie- u. Bauprofile GmbH and Bayerische Asphaltmischwerke GmbH & Co. KG.
