history
The discovery of a Bronze Age burial ground near Cunnersdorf proves the early settlement of the area. The first documentary mention of individual villages in the community took place on May 19, 1225. The places and place names are partly of Sorbian and partly of German origin. The villages of Cunnersdorf and Petershain were probably named after their founder. In 1429, during the Hussite Wars , the area was badly damaged by raiding troops. The Thirty Years' War and the plague in 1680/1681 hit the towns hard. During the Wars of Liberation , the area was again hit by troops passing through. In the course of the Saxon municipal area reform , the five municipalities of Biehla, Brauna , Cunnersdorf , Hausdorf and Schönbach merged to form Schönteichen in March 1994 .
On January 1, 2019, the community of Schönteichen was dissolved and the places belonging to it were incorporated into the city of Kamenz.
