The aristocratic court for Mackendorf was Altena, it was abolished in the French times . From 1807 to 1813 Mackendorf belonged to the canton of Weferlingen in the Helmstedt district , in the Oker department of the Kingdom of Westphalia . Mackendorf later came to the Helmstedt office .

The now closed land trade goes back to the year 1861 . A cooperative dairy had existed in Mackendorf since 1890, followed by the opening of the Helmstedt – Oebisfelde railway line west of Mackendorf in 1895 , without Mackendorf being given a stop. The nearest train station was in the neighboring village of Döhren. In 1901 a rural credit cooperative was founded in Mackendorf .

In 1943 the dairy was closed again and the milk was then delivered to the dairy in Bahrdorf. In 1945 the Helmstedt – Oebisfelde railway line was cut through the establishment of the inner-German border and train traffic was discontinued. Mackendorf and the brickworks also cut the border from the previous power supply from the south by Landelektronik GmbH Halle (Saale) . Therefore, a new power line was laid, which led from the west via Mackendorf and Saalsdorf to Altena and was fed by Landelektronik GmbH Fallersleben . In 1949 a public library was founded. As a result of the flight and expulsion of Germans from Central and Eastern Europe from 1945-1950 , the population of Saalsdorf increased from 363 (1939) to 621 (1950), of which 227 were displaced in 1950 . 1952 the shooting club Mackendorf eV was founded.

In 1969 the school was closed. On July 1, 1972 , Mackendorf was incorporated into the community of Bahrdorf . In the course of the change in the GDR , the border to Döhren was opened on April 13, 1990. In 2005 Mackendorf got its current fire station.
