Großschönau is more closely connected with the textile history of damask and terry weaving than any other community in Germany.
Nowhere else was real damask woven so much and for so long. The townscape of Großschönau is strongly influenced by this: if you visit the village, you will notice the many small and large half-timbered houses, most of which were inhabited by weaving families.
