Schönhausen, Rural municipality in Stendal District, Germany.

Schönhausen sits on the eastern bank of the Elbe River, positioned on a terminal moraine between the cities of Stendal and Rathenow.

The Bishops of Havelberg founded the settlement in the early 13th century and completed the construction of a Romanesque brick church in 1212.

The village maintains a museum in the preserved wing of Schönhausen Manor, documenting the life and achievements of German Chancellor Otto von Bismarck.

The local train station connects to the Berlin-Lehrte railway line with regular Regionalbahn service, providing transportation links to major urban centers.

Two Baroque manors, Schönhausen I and II, were built by the Bismarck family in the early 18th century, though only portions remain today.
