The present settlement of Schönau grew up round the monastery. History Schönau Abbey was founded in 1142 by Burchard II von Asorn, Prince-Bishop of Worms, with Cistercians from Eberbach Abbey. The monastery came under the patronage of the Counts Palatine of the Rhine. In 1156 Emperor Frederick Barbarossa conferred upon his half-brother the ''Vogtei'' of Schönau Abbey. Around 1190, Rudolph I, Count Palatine of Tübingen gave the Cistercians the abandoned Premonstratensian abbey of Bebenhausen. It became a daughter house of Schönau. During the Reformation the abbey was dissolved, in 1558. In 1562, Frederick III, Elector Palatine used the empty buildings to provide housing for Huguenot refugees from Wallonia.
