history

The later estate area was already populated in the Neolithic by cattle-raising farmers who belonged to the culture of linear ceramics . Corresponding archaeological finds were dated to around 4,000 BC. The name Schate is derived from "shady hagen". The place was first mentioned in 1266. In 1506 the village was already being led as a desert . Schate was then the Vorwerk of the manor in Großwerther . A water mill, the Schatmühle, was fed by a very rich spring (Hungerborn, Heller) and operated until the early 1920s. In Schate there was also an estate sheep farm with a modern ramp barn from the pre-war period, which burned down in 1948 due to carelessness. A new sheep farm was built in their place. In the 19th century, cherry festivals were celebrated in Schate, which ended after a person was killed in a brawl.

On April 8, 1945, a Wehrmacht troop transport with a motorized unit on the railway line in Schate was attacked from the air and destroyed. Exploding ammunition prevented the dead from being rescued for days.

In the vicinity of the former church village of Schate, a new farmer's settlement was built after 1945 (Schate West). In the 1950s, these farmers followed the path of collectivizing their farms.
