History
Schönchen was founded as a Roman Catholic colony on 3 August 1767 by Baron Caneau de Beauregard on the Little Karaman River. The land there was not suitable for farming and in 1770 the colony was relocated to better land northeast of Katharinental, between the colonies of Zug and Wittmann.
Schönchen received its Russian name after Count N. I. Panin (1718- 1783).
The colony of Schönchen no longer exists.
