"Basket weaving" was a part of Schondorf history
from the colonization beginning in 1768 with the
family of Johann Logel. In 1828 census
there were 4 'korbmacher' (master weavers),
surnames of Frensch, Grunzweig, Lui & Scharle.
Hangai, Wersching and Mayer are 'korbmacher' in
the 1850's. From 1900 to the start of
World War I was a very prosperous time for the
industry with over 70 workers. After WWII
saw the introduction of a communist, state run
co-op with building additions in the 1960's.
