Schönaich is a township with a population of about 10,000 and is situated at the outskirts of the Schönbuch forest in a scenic location but at the same time close to cities like Böblingen, Sindelfingen, Tübingen, and Stuttgart.

A number of restaurants or snack bars with German, Italian, Turkish and Chinese food and ice cream parlors offer their services in Schönaich.

The graduation from a Gymnasium or an equivalent degree from a foreign school permits access to the universities and colleges in Germany.

Doctors from several fields have their practice in Schönaich: general practitioners; ear, nose and throat; internist; orthopedist; gynecologist; pediatrist; dentists.

The Black Forest, the Schwäbische Alb with its caves, or Lake Constanz are close enough for a one-day excursion.

Exception: major employers in the area are Hewlett-Packard and IBM in Böblingen, and Mercedes AG in Sindelfingen, all within easy commuting distance.
