history
Until the 19th century
At the end of the 13th century Schoenberg received by the Counts of neck the market law . The Schönberg market belonged to the Straubing Rent Office and the Bärnstein Regional Court of the Electorate of Bavaria . Schönberg owned a market court with its own magistrate rights. Towards the end of the Thirty Years War , it was looted twice by Swedish troops in 1648. During the War of the Austrian Succession , the Pandours looted the place in 1742 . Since the Bavarian municipal edict of 1818 , Schönberg formed its own municipality. The neo-Gothic parish church of St. Margareta, whose predecessors go back to the 13th century, was built from 1836 to 1838.
20th and 21st centuries
Since Schönberg could not find a connection to a railway line, it was preferred in other respects: On July 1, 1908, the first motor mail car on the post motor car line Passau – Schönberg was welcomed. At first there were two trips a day in each direction. The yellow-painted postal buses had 35 hp and reached a speed of 15 km / h. Just two years later the line was extended to Grafenau.
Towards the end of the Second World War , the parish church and large parts of the market were destroyed.
On November 1, 1983, Schönberg received the title of a state-recognized health resort .
