history
In 1370 the village was mentioned in a document at what was then the Scenenheyde junction in the manor of Rödern . In 1429 the village was called Schönheyde. It was an important carter settlement with a manor at the Nuremberg escort. In the 16th century, the knight von Berlstedt was enfeoffed with Schönheyde. He introduced compulsory roads . The Thirty Years War caused the carter settlement and the manor to fall into desolation.
1689 the squire built by Rödern from Dörnfeld an der Heide there a Vorwerk . There was now an estate, six farmhouses, an inn, a brick hut and seven people lived in the village. In 1769, as a result of the Seven Years' War (1756–1763), there were only two houses in which seven people lived. In 1829 the remnants were sold to the Dörnfeld an der Heyde community. The manor house became a carter's house again. Families from Gräfinau-Angstedt and Jesuborn bought fields and meadows . In 1837 the inn burned down, which was the reason for renewed devastation.
