history

Originally it was a Slavic settlement, which was first mentioned in 1358 as Schonndorf . The planned construction began after 1700 under Duke Wilhelm Ernst .

There is both a Catholic and a Protestant parish in Schöndorf. The Catholic Church of St. Boniface was consecrated in 1957. The construction time was two years. On the site is the settled in 1995 with the establishment of the Convention St. Theresa Discalced Carmelites at. This was the first monastery to be founded in the new federal states after 1990. The foundation stone was laid for the Evangelical Church of St. Stephen in 1964, followed by its inauguration in 1966. Libraries of the Buchenwald and Mittelbau-Dora Memorials Foundation At the beginning of the 20th century, social democracy was also very popular in the residential city of Weimar. Because the radical socialist Rosa Luxemburg called for a political mass strike at the SPD party conference in Jena in 1905 , a year later she was sentenced to two months in prison by the Grand Ducal Weimar District Court . On January 3, 1912, Luxemburg spoke in the Weimar Volkshaus and appeared in the Reichstag election campaign against armaments and colonial policy .

In 1959, the city of Weimar had a memorial erected in the Schöndorf estate in memory of the politician who was later murdered by reactionary forces. The artists and sculptors Siegfried Tschierschky and Franz Dospiel built a slender obelisk made of travertine , which is crowned by the proletarian symbol hammer and sickle . The place of its establishment was named Rosa-Luxemburg-Platz .

The "Nachschlag 1999" project at the Weimar Bauhaus University dealt with the monument and its surroundings at the end of the 1990s. Next to the obelisk is a large boulder as a negative imprint of part of the monument. Complementary to the stele and its inscription, the boulder bears the fading writing: "I dream that we study art in free moments".

Worth mentioning is the Wilhelm-Ernst-Weg , a hiking trail from Schöndorf to Kromsdorf , which was laid out in 2005.
