history
Schönfeld was founded in 1375. The first written mention of the place dates from 1386, 1501 it is written Schonffelt . In terms of church, Schönfeld belongs to the parish of Ehrenfriedersdorf. August Schumann mentions Schönfeld in the State, Post and Newspaper Lexicon of Saxony in 1823 regarding, among other things:
“[…] Has, regardless of the houses only around 60, but over 450 residents (in 1801 there were 356 consumers, 229 cows and 280 sheep without the manor); [...] The mining that they do in the Ehrenfriedersdorfer pits, lace making , spinning and cattle breeding are their most excellent trades; for the latter there are very good meadows towards Wiesa. Compared to the surrounding places, agriculture is not without usability because of the flatter fields; but the village has little field, since the economy of the manor is strong, and logging soon begins in the east and north. Only flax cultivation is important and famous even from afar. There is a new, very nice inn, an escort house , 2 mills with 4 courses , [...] "

Concerning the local manor he states:
“The local manor, which formerly belonged to the von Nostitz family, but is now owned by the Annaberg family Eisenstuck , is located in the middle of the village and on the street, and since the fire in 1806 has had new, not exactly valuable, but beautiful and symmetrical buildings a turret, a clock, lightning rods etc. s. w. - In short, the estate, although not one of the largest, but one of the most beautiful in the Ore Mountains, also has important breweries and distilleries, strong cattle breeding, a small but good sheep farm (its buildings are to the west, close to the estate) and a usable farm in general, some wood, and a few ponds at the bottom of the village. This estate is also entrusted with pewter and a few other fossils with the mountain shelves , and therefore has its own mountain dishes - despite the fact that the building is now small - and enjoys the rough toe when it is carousing . In 1553 the town council of Annaberg bought the estate from those of the Oelßnitz. "
With the construction of the Zschopautalbahn , the place with the station " Schönfeld-Wiesa " received a railway connection on February 1, 1866. The train station, however, was almost 2 kilometers southeast of the town center. With the construction and opening of the narrow-gauge railway to Geyer on December 1, 1888, this gauge-changing station became a station and underwent extensive expansions.
With the narrow-gauge railway, the place received the "Schönfeld (Zschopautal)" stop on this route, but it was about as far away from the place. On August 16, 1967, passenger traffic was stopped.
On January 1, 1999, the previously independent communities of Neundorf, Schönfeld, Wiesa and Wiesenbad merged to form the new community of Wiesa. On January 1, 2005, the community was renamed Thermalbad Wiesenbad.
On April 1, 2007, the station "Schönfeld-Wiesa" was abandoned in favor of the new stop "Wiesa (Erzgeb)", which was set up a little later in the center of Wiesa. Today, only the reception building of the formerly extensive structures still exists.

economy
In 1911 the Schönfeld paper factory was founded. At that time it owned one of the largest paper machines in the world. The plant had a siding on the narrow-gauge railway. In 1951 the company was expropriated, in 1985 the paper machine was replaced by a new system with the same working width and supplied the former GDR with press papers; after operations on the narrow-gauge railway were closed in 1967, residual goods traffic between the factory and Schönfeld-Wiesa station was maintained. Due to the steep gradient, steam locomotives still had to be used, making train operations uneconomical for the DR . Since the factory could not do without the railway connection, the remaining connection was converted to standard gauge in 1985.
The factory was finally transferred back in March 1996. With extensive investments, the factory was brought up to the current state of the art by June 1997.
The mill currently supplies around 45,000 tons of paper per year and employs 85 people.
