Schönfeld was founded around the 12th century after the founding of the Mark Brandenburg by Franconian, Rhenish and Saxon farmers who had come to the region after conquering the originally Slavic area. The name appears for the first time in 1315 in the form of the personal name "Johannes de sconevelde" , in relation to the place the name "Sconenvelde" was first mentioned on January 10, 1335. The place name means "settlement to the beautiful field" . It was first mentioned in connection with the Chorin monastery , which at that time owned six Hufen in the village.

According to the mention in the Landbuch der Mark Brandenburg of 1375, the church of Schönfeld belonged to the mother church in Beiersdorf and thus to the Sedes Bernau in that year, in Schönfeld there were four parish hooves and one church hoof. In total, the place consisted of 104 hooves. In 1441 the ownership rights to Schönfeld were divided between the aristocratic families von Arnim on the one hand and von Holzendorf on the other half. A Dietrich von Holzendorf from Sydow is mentioned in the Biesenthaler Amtserbregister from 1595 .

In 1608 Schönfeld was sometimes also called Hohenschönefelde . Large parts of Schönfeld were destroyed during the Thirty Years' War . In 1644 only five farmers lived in the village, after the end of the war 62 Hufen were devastated. The place was built danachneu, 1671 revived 22 farmers and a Kossät in place. On June 10, 1762, Schönfeld burned down partially after a lightning strike , and on May 23, 1814, the place was destroyed again by a fire. After the renewed reconstruction, the townscape with courtyards from the 19th century, which is still preserved today, was created. In 1823 there was a small fire in which three courtyards were destroyed. Schönfeld has had its current name since 1861. In 1910 the volunteer fire brigade was founded in Schönfeld .

Schönfeld village center with village church and memorial for the fallen

Towards the end of the Second World War there were bombing raids on Schönfeld, in which the village church was affected. On April 20, 1945, the village was liberated by the Red Army , by which time around 40 percent of the village had been destroyed. After the land reform in the Soviet occupation zone in 1945, the land in Schönfeld was redistributed and the land was distributed among new farmers. Until July 1, 1950, Schönfeld was in the Oberbarnim district , after which the community moved to the Niederbarnim district . After its dissolution a little more than two years later, Schönfeld came to the Bernau district (GDR district Frankfurt (Oder) ).

In 1953 a Type II agricultural production cooperative was formed in Schönfeld . In 1955 this merged with another LPG to form the new LPG Type III "Future". This LPG had 73 members who farmed 753 hectares of usable area. In 1962, the first inter-cooperative building organization in the Bernau district was founded in Schönfeld . The LPG "Zukunft" merged in 1969 with the LPG " Thomas Müntzer " founded in 1958 . After reunification , Schönfeld only belonged to the district of Bernau , and since December 6, 1993, the place has been in the district of Barnim.

On October 23, 2002, the foundation stone was laid in Schönfeld for the construction of a new fire station ; this building was completed in June 2003.
