Schenborn (Ukrainian and Russian Шенборн ; German Unterschönborn , Hungarian Alsóschönborn , Slovak (incorrectly) Nové Selo ) is a German-speaking village in the Transcarpathian Oblast (more precisely in Mukachevo Rajon ), Ukraine .
It is located south of the city of Mukatschewo and was settled with Main Franconian immigrants after 1728 by Prince-Bishop Karl Friedrich Schönborn . A previously existing settlement with the name Nowo Selo only had 6 families as residents, the settlers from the Bamberg and Würzburg area built a new one away from the old one. Most of the people in the village still live in Schönborn Franconia, the unemployment rate is 90 percent. The approximately 370 inhabitants mostly speak German, as the majority of German emigrants live there and the German language has been retained for more than 200 years. There was a German school in the village until 1945, and it has been reopened since 1991.
The place belonged to Hungary until 1919 , then it was part of Czechoslovakia until 1938, 1938–1945 it was annexed by Hungary again due to the Vienna arbitration , since 1945 it has been part of the Soviet Union and since 1991 part of Ukraine . From 1946 to April 1, 1995 the village was called Nowe Selo (Нове Село) or in Russian Novoje Selo (Новое Село).
In 1994 the Stabat Mater Maria community opened a Roman Catholic mission center. From there, German-speaking priests and lay people do pastoral care.
