Volga German immigrants founded the town of Schönfeld (Schoenfeld) in rural Barton Co., Kansas. Today, nothing remains of this settlement except for the cemetery.

The town of Schoenchen was founded by members of St. Joseph's Parish in Liebental who wanted to move the town to a place with a better water supply. Their efforts to move the town failed, but a group relocated anyway across the line into Ellis County. Originally the town was called San Antonio, but several wanted to name it after the colony in Russia from which they had moved - either Schönchen or Neu-Ober-Monjou. As a compromise the town was called Schoenchen and the church St. Anthony's, after the parish in Neu-Ober-Monjou.

The following were founding families of Schoenchen:
