On July 1, 1950, the GDR underwent its first district reform . In the then state of Saxony-Anhalt , the new district of Schönebeck was formed from the previously independent town of Schönebeck and the district of Calbe . On July 25, 1952, there was another district reform in which, among other things, the states in the GDR were dissolved and replaced by districts . The district of Schönebeck gave several communities to the new districts of Bernburg , Köthen and Staßfurt . The Schönebeck district was formed from most of the district together with some communities from the old Burg and Bernburg districts. The district was assigned to the newly formed Magdeburg district .

On May 17, 1990, the district was renamed the Schönebeck district. On the occasion of the reunification of the two German states, the district was awarded to the re-established state of Saxony-Anhalt in 1990. During the second district reform in Saxony-Anhalt , which came into force on July 1, 2007, it was incorporated into today's Salzlandkreis.
