Map of Großhennersdorf and Schönbrunn from 1884

Schönbrunn is a district of the city of Herrnhut in the Saxon Upper Lusatia . After the incorporation to Großhennersdorf , the place was incorporated into Herrnhut in 2011 together with Euldorf , Heuscheune and Großhennersdorf.

location

The place is about two kilometers east of Großhennersdorf in the district of Görlitz on the north-western edge of the Oberwald . In the south of the settlement rises the Schönbrunner Berg , in the southwest of the Große Berg . The Christoph houses to the south are also part of Schönbrunn.

history

The place is one of the youngest in southern Upper Lusatia, the Großhennersdorfer landowner Henriette Sophie von Gersdorf had it built in 1724 in order to offer Bohemian exiles a new home after the Thirty Years War , similar to what happened two years earlier with Herrnhut . When more than 400 religious refugees came together over the years and the desire for an independent community was voiced, the Saxon Elector August the Strong forbade the admission of further exiles. Nevertheless, under the leadership of Johann Liberda , the Bohemians pushed for their own school, judicial and church system. Since these demands could not be enforced due to the pronounced ban, most of these families emigrated to Prussia in today's Berlin-Neukölln on September 10, 1732 and founded the Bohemian village of Rixdorf there . The few remaining took over the houses in Schönbrunn, were incorporated into the rule of law and adopted the German church system in 1741.
