Schönau is a district of Leipzig in the west of the city , according to the municipal division of 1992 . Until it was incorporated in 1930, Schönau was an independent Saxon community.

location

The district only includes the north-eastern part of the Schönau district , which emerged from the area of ​​the former municipality of the same name. It also includes part of the Lindenau district (with the Lindenau harbor ) and a small corner of the Leutzscher Flur. In the north, the border of the district also corresponds to the historical district boundary to Großmiltitz and Rückmarsdorf (this runs northwest of the Schönauer Wiesenlachens and the garden settlement on Horburgerstraße). In the east, Plautstrasse was defined as the administrative border with the Neulindenau district , in the south the Lützner Strasse to Grünau-Ost and Mitte and in the west the Kiewer Strasse as the border to Grünau-Nord.

The Schönau district includes the residential complex 5.1 of the Grünau development area , the remains of the old village center of Schönau, the “Schönau Quarter” on the site of the former Schönau barracks and the Schönau Park.

history

The place name was first mentioned in a document in 1254, in connection with the landlord Heidenricus de Schonenowe . The place name is of German origin and is made up of Middle High German schœn (e) ('beautiful, graceful') and the basic word -au (e) . Until 1815 the village of Schönau belonged to the Hochstift-Merseburgischen Amt Schkeuditz , which had been under Electoral Saxon sovereignty since 1561 and belonged to the secondary school principality of Saxony-Merseburg between 1656/57 and 1738 . Through the resolutions of the Congress of Vienna , the western part of the Schkeuditz office was ceded to Prussia in 1815. Schönau remained with the eastern part of the Kingdom of Saxony and was incorporated into the Leipzig district office. From 1856 the place belonged to the court office Leipzig II and from 1875 to the administrative authority Leipzig .

1930 Schönau was incorporated into Leipzig. The main motive for the incorporation was the construction of the Lindenau harbor , which should lie entirely within the Leipzig city area. The city of Leipzig also bought the Schönau manor in 1937. As part of the armament of the Wehrmacht , a barracks for the air force was built in Schönau in 1933-36 . It was continued to be used by the Soviet Army after 1945 , which withdrew in 1991. In 1982 there was an explosion there. The large housing estate Grünau was built on a large part of the Schönau district in the 1970s and 80s . The baroque manor house was demolished in 1979, of the old manor and village only the Schönau Park and the listed Gothic village church remained.

Traces of the forest fire in April 2020

The Leipzig district of Schönau in the West district, formed in 1992 for statistical and administrative purposes, only includes part of the Schönau district. Other parts were assigned to the districts of Grünau-Mitte, -Nord, -Ost, -Siedlung and Grünau-West (since 1995 Lausen-Grünau). After the withdrawal of the Soviet troops and the clearing of contaminated military sites, the urban development company LESG developed the former barracks into a residential area with single-family and terraced houses from 2003. In the very dry April 2020 there was a forest fire north of Lützner Straße.

Location typical

Lindenau Harbor (2019)

The central and south-western parts of the district are largely dedicated to residential areas , with the exception of the retail park on Kiewer Straße (Kaufland Leipzig-Schönau) and a predominantly commercial mixed area on Kiewer / Lützner Straße. The north and east of Schönau are largely left as green areas, including a. the Schönauer Park and the 8.33 hectare marshland of Schönauer Lachen ( designated as a natural monument since 1985 ). The area east of the Lindenau harbor is partly designated as an industrial area (north) and partly as a mixed area (south).

Only small remnants of the former village center have been preserved on old buildings. The central area of ​​the district is built with 6-storey apartment blocks in prefabricated construction ( WBS 70 ). In the western part there are single and multi-family houses from the 2000s. A new residential area has been emerging east of Lindenau Harbor since the end of the 2010s.

In Schönau there is a kindergarten, a primary school and a food market near the park. A park festival and a fire brigade festival take place every year.

traffic

The 66 bus runs through the quarter every hour. The final stop Grünau-Nord of tram line 8 is - despite the name - in the middle of the Schönau district. It connects to the city center every 10 minutes on weekdays. Tram line 15 and bus lines 60, 61, 62 and 65 run on the outskirts of the district.

The main axes of motorized private transport are Kiewer Strasse in the west, Lyoner Strasse in the north ( Bundesstrasse 87 ) and Lützner Strasse in the south.
