history
Chancel of the Schönborn Church
The village is mentioned as Schonenburn in 1350. Its name is to be interpreted as a place on the beautiful, light brook or source and is probably related to the location at the source of a left tributary of the Großer Röder. In connection with a personal name, the place has an even older documented mention. In this it says:
"On October 3, 1297 Hermannus de Schonenburne and the praefato Heinrico de Schonenburne acquired fallow land in front of the Dresden Frauentor ."
According to information from the State Office for Archeology and the State Office for Prehistory in Dresden, the village of Schönborn is said to have had a stone chapel (church) in the Romanesque style as early as the middle of the 13th century (around 1250). After being destroyed in 1653, it was rebuilt until 1664. The church interior is characterized as a hall with a retracted, rectangular choir. Schönborn was a manorial village, the inhabitants of which were mostly subordinate to the owners of the Seifersdorf manor and had to do their labor. As residents of the Dresden Heath residents were allowed to gather wood in the forest and cattle there to Hutung drive, even up to five kilometers away badgers mountain . To do this, they still had to help out in court hunts in the 17th century.
