geography

Hartsee near Schönau

Schönau is located in the Leipzig lowland bay north of Frohburg on the eastern edge of the former Borna-Ost opencast mine . Its flooded residual hole southwest of Schönau today forms the Harthsee . Schönau is in the north of Nenkersdorf.

history

Until 1856, Schönau was in the Electoral Saxon or Royal Saxon Office of Borna . From 1856 Schönau belonged to the Borna court office . In 1875 the town was incorporated into the Borna district administration.

Church of Schönau

Schönau was incorporated into Nenkersdorf on October 1, 1948. In 1952, Nenkersdorf and Schönau were assigned to the Geithain district in the Leipzig district .

The Borna-Ost opencast mine , which opened in 1960, significantly changed the landscape west of Schönau. Already in 1961, the first cut of the building site I cut the connection between Zedtlitz and Schönau. Plots III and IV, which dredged the area west of Schönau between 1977 and 1983, had further effects on the site. Between 1979 and 1981, the floodplains of Schönauer Bach and Harthbach were affected in the first excavation section of construction site IV. This also made the local connection from Neukirchen to Schönau. The Borna-Ost opencast mine came to a standstill in 1983 at a distance of 500 meters to the eastern outskirts of Neukirchen. After the tipping was completed, the "Restloch Nenkersdorf" remained in the southern area of ​​construction site IV, which is now called Harthsee after the renaturation . The smaller remaining holes to the west of Schönau have become lakes that are reserved for nature conservation. The local connection to Zedtlitz was rebuilt with the K7933.

Schönau has belonged to the Leipziger Land district since 1994 . On January 1, 1999, Nenkersdorf and its district of Schönau were incorporated into the city of Frohburg, making the villages districts of Frohburg. Both places made use of the opportunity to form a local council. Since then, the local council of Nenkersdorf / Schönau has represented the interests of both places.

traffic

Attractions

Windmill in Schönau

In addition to the church in Schönau, the windmill should be mentioned.

The Harthsee has the potential to attract bathers from the east and south of Frohburg, as there is a lack of larger bathing waters there.
