In the Schammat is a street in the Trier district of Trier-Süd . It runs in a semi-arch from Medardstrasse in a south-easterly direction and ends in a dead end.

With the Schammatdorf on the street, there is an intergenerational, inclusive residential area with a focus on "social living". The aim is to bring people together who, for personal reasons, because of their similar life story or because of specific impairments, have a common fate. The village also offers many communal and common areas for young and old. The integration of physically disabled people plays a major role here. The village was founded in 1979 on the initiative of the Trier Social Department and the Benedictine Abbey of St. Matthias . It is carried by the association of the same name. Around 280 people currently live in Schammatdorf, including the Rhineland-Palatinate Prime Minister Malu Dreyer and her husband Klaus Jensen .

The name of the street is derived from an old field name. "Schamat", "Schammede" or "Schammert" used to refer to a piece of land knife (from Latin scamnatus ager ). The Latin word was probably borrowed from Germanic (“Scam” = short). In the Middle Ages, the area around today's road was owned by the Benedictine Abbey of St. Matthias.

At the corner of Medardstraße and Im Schammat there is a baroque wayside shrine with a relief with a crucifixion and five saints.

There is also a public bookcase in the street in Schammatdorf at number 13a .
