history

Schönberg's beginnings go back to the 11th century. The first documentary mention of Schönberg goes back to the year 1052. At this point in time, Emperor Heinrich III. the place to his ministerial Berthold. For several centuries it was an exclave of the Margraviate of Brandenburg-Ansbach . From 1694 to 1704 , Christian Heinrich von Brandenburg-Kulmbach, who came from a Hohenzollern branch, lived with his family at the margravial castle of the village . His daughter, Sophie Magdalene , who was born here , later became Queen of Denmark . In 1703, Christian Heinrich signed the so-called Schönberger Treaty and waived his inheritance claims in the Franconian possessions of the Hohenzollern in exchange for financial compensation.

Until the end of the 19th century, one of the larger castles in the Nuremberg region was located in Schönberg. After the castle was demolished in 1898, a Protestant parish church was built by the architect German Bestelmeyer as a kind of fortified church in the neo-Gothic style in an exposed location by 1901 . Of the culturally and historically significant monument, only the remains of the surrounding wall, the fountain, the moat and the striking " Hunger Tower " stood. In the west gable of the church there are two of the three preserved medieval bells. They represent evidence from the time of the margravial castle chapel.

Until 1972 the place was an independent municipality. To distinguish it from the numerous other towns of the same name, the addition of the name to Lauf was used in official parlance . As a result of the municipal territorial reform , Schönberg decided to voluntarily join the city of Lauf. Together with the neighboring community of Weigenhofen to the south-east, this was implemented on July 1 of the same year as part of an incorporation agreement concluded in March 1972 .
