history

The first indications of human settlement around Schammendorf date back to the Mesolithic Age , when an open-air station was operated at least seasonally in the village immediately west of the thoroughfare . A permanent settlement at the same location can be proven in the past . At the same time, there was also a small fortification a little east of the village on the Schammenleithe or Schammendorfer Leithe, the Geiskirche section fortification .

Even in the early medieval period, during the second half of the first millennium AD, the area was inhabited. Evidence of this was provided by the discovery of a row of burial grounds from the Carolingian - Ottonian times on a slope on the southeastern edge of Schammendorf in 1956.

From the years 1325 and 1330 the spelling of the place as “Schamendorf”, 1422 as “Schamenstorf”, again as “Schamendorf” and as “Schomendorf” is handed down. The name is derived from the Old High German word scam , which means short or small . The place name can therefore be interpreted as belonging to the short village . The spelling “Schamenstorf” would also allow a derivation from the nickname shaman , but this is not very likely.

On January 1, 1976, Schammendorf was incorporated into the city of Weismain as a former district of Wallersberg .
