Nieuw-Schoonebeek is a village in the Netherlands and is part of the Emmen municipality in Drenthe.

Nieuw-Schoonebeek started as a peat exploitation settlement along the road from Schoonebeek to Meppen.

Around 1805, settlers from neighbouring Twist in Germany moved into the area.

The population successfully sabotaged the wells which prevented the Germans from knowing much oil was underneath the ground.

[4] Nieuw-Schoonebeek is home to several boôs, little sheds where cow shepherds could spend the night with their cattle.
