Schoenberg is the only Saxon town on the southern slope of the Elster mountains with views over the entire Egerland directly on the border with the Czech Republic. He is the southernmost town in Saxony and was the southernmost municipality in the GDR. It is located directly below the Chapel Mountain.

The place name is derived from "place on the beautiful mountain", which means the chapel hill, which is named after the chapel of St. Ursula on the eastern slope. The village that developed around the estate is a village of alleyways with partly waldhufen-like block and strip corridors. Its area was 850 hectares in 1900. The place belonged to the Voigtsberg district until the 19th century.
