In that race, he set aEuropean record of 44.33 seconds which stood for 35 years before it was broken byMatthew Hudson-Smith in August 2023.

A year earlier, Schönlebe had finished second at the1986 European Championships in Stuttgart behindRoger Black. One of his last achievements was the third place at the1993 World Championships in Stuttgart with the (now unified) German 4 × 400 m relay team.
