Before the Congress of Vienna and the cession of territory by the Kingdom of Saxony to the Kingdom of Prussia , Schacksdorf belonged to Saxony. From 1816 the village belonged to the Luckau district of the Prussian province of Brandenburg . Around 1823 Schacksdorf, at that time an official village of the Dobrilugk Rent Office , had 127 inhabitants. To the village belonged to a Vorwerk , this arose from a desolate farm that belonged to the noble family of Dieskau was. Schacksdorf was then part of the Finsterwalde office and owned a windmill . The place was parish after masses. In 1840, according to the topographical-statistical overview of the administrative district of Frankfurt adO, Schacksdorf had 29 residential buildings with 198 inhabitants. By 1864 the population in Schacksdorf rose to 253. At that time the village had a farm, a windmill and a water mill . Lignite was also being mined nearby .

In 1935, the Finsterwalde Air Base was built south of Schacksdorf . From 1939 the pilot school C Finsterwalde and from 1943 the air force communication school Halle / Saale were stationed there. On April 21, 1945 the village and the airfield were occupied by Red Army troops. The Red Army used the airfield until the Soviet troops withdrew in 1993. In the Schacksdorf area there is also the Finsterwalde special weapons storage facility, which was built in 1961 and was used to store nuclear dropping ammunition. After the takeover by the German authorities in May 1993, large parts of the development such as the train station or swimming pool were demolished, but the tower and hangars were retained. Today the airfield is used by an air sports club and an aircraft yard. South of the airfield is a housing estate consisting of seven five-storey prefabricated buildings , some of which belongs to Schacksdorf. The buildings are almost uninhabited.
