Schoenborn (orginally
Schoenquell - beautiful spring) was established by Lutheran
settlers in 1849. After 1853 a number of the settlers from
Hoffnungsthal relocated to
Schoenborn. The original Schoenborn Bethlehem Lutheran church was
completed in 1856 (a new church was errected on a different site in
1927).
The district of Neu Mecklenberg which embraced
Schoenborn was renamed Gomersal in 1918 though the Schoenborn church
retained it name.
