Neuschönau is a medium-sized community on the outskirts of the Bavarian Forest National Park in Germany near the Czech border, more precisely in the Freyung-Grafenau district in the administrative district Lower Bavaria. The community benefits greatly from tourism through the nearby National park. Around 2/3 of the municipal area is in this, as well as the Lusen, and there are numerous tourist attractions, such as the treetop path at the Lusen National Park Center with the Hans Eisemann House.
The total of 7 districts of Neuschönau are all located in the picturesque landscape of the Bavarian Forest, including the artist village of Waldhäuser, which at 1000 m above sea level is the highest village in the Bavarian Forest is. The name comes from the first mention of Neuschönau in 1395 as "Schönau".
background
Neuschönau was first mentioned under the name "Schönau" in 1395, and by the end of the 14th century several glassworks quickly settled there, including the oldest glassworks in the Grafenau district, built in 1417. This was taken over in June 1600 by Thomas Kaiser, after whom the two localities Altkaiserhütte and Neukaiserhütte were named. Over time, the town of Schönau became Altschönau and Neukaiserhütte Neuschönau. Due to the favorable location on Gulden Stras since the 15th century, the population grew very quickly, so that in 1889 there were already 1000 inhabitants with 200 school-age children. Neuschönau remained an important glassmaking place and the St. Anna parish church was completed in 1903 as the new church. Two fires raging in Neuschönau in 1926, in 1929 the church was badly damaged in a storm. After a referendum, the municipality name was officially changed on June 1, 1981 from Schönanger municipality to Neuschönau municipality.
