Schönborn is a municipality in the district of Rhein-Lahn, in Rhineland-Palatinate, in western Germany.

Schönborn is the origin of the Counts of Schönborn. From 1100 up to 1479 the lords were vassals of the Counts of Katzenelnbogenwith a local distance of 3 miles between the castle of Katzenelnbogen and the farm. Today a little house next to the church is still called "Schönborner Hof" [ http://www.graf-von-katzenelnbogen.de/ The History of the County of Katzenelnbogen and the First Riesling of the World] .
