history
The first documentary mention is dated in a document signed in Bautzen on February 13, 1350 and stored in the Secret State Archives in Berlin-Dahlem, in which the place is called "Smachtenhagen" like many others in the area in the deeds of donation of the Margraves Ludwig der Brandenburger and Ludwig the Roman is mentioned, in which they enfeoffed Count Ulrich von Lindow with the Bötzow castle and surrounding villages.
In 1638, during the Thirty Years' War (1618–1648), the plague broke out and killed almost half of the villagers. The place and the country along the Havel were crossed and plundered by Danes, imperial armies and Swedes several times, destroying many houses and barns were. In addition, the Schmachtenhagener lost a lot of land due to the war tax. In 1642 the Bötzow office was pledged to Frau von dem Knesebeck , three years later the church was rebuilt and a parish office was set up. Since almost half of the farmsteads lay fallow in 1648, the village was rebuilt and settled with the support of Frau von dem Knesebeck. A few farmers who survived built new buildings on their own, others had new houses built. In 1651 the place became part of Bötzow (later Oranienburg) and thus the Bötzow office (from 1652: Oranienburg office ), and in 1745 it was added to the new Zehlendorf office . After the official seat was relocated in 1763, it became part of the Friedrichsthal office . In 1792 a forge was built between the kiln and the cemetery, which attracted additional residents to the village. In 1819 the Friedrichsthal office was dissolved again and Schmachtenhagen was reintegrated into the Oranienburg office.
At the beginning of the 19th century three self-contained settlements emerged. Between 1945 and 1990 the place was in the GDR , in the course of the municipal area reform it became a district again in October 2003 with an official seat in the city of Oranienburg.

Protestant church
In the 15./16. In the 19th century the place got its first stone church, which was often neglected and repaired in the following years. In 1699 it was given a new half-timbered tower , but fell victim to a fire in 1874 and was demolished. In December 1876, after a year and a half of construction, the yellow brick building, still standing today, in the neo-Romanesque round arch style with its around 30 meters high and widely recognizable square west tower with slate roof and apse and a long organ with eleven stops on two manuals was consecrated in its place. In the 1950s, however, it was changed significantly: the old structures and the old altar were removed, and the walls were whitewashed in a simple gray. The result was that some older residents avoided the church, which had been exposed to wind, weather, sponge and woodworm over the centuries, mainly because of its wooden ceiling, which was in danger of collapsing. Since 1997 - in addition to the funds from the community treasury - the local men's choir and a development association founded in 2005 have been financing the renovation in stages through donations and regular benefit concerts . After its restoration in 2007, the organ is again in excellent condition. Since then, efforts have been made to raise the money to install a heater.
Of the current population of around 2,000, around 190 are active Christians. Since the place does not have its own pastor, it is looked after by a clergyman from the parish office of Oranienburg-Süd.
