history
Traces of settlement up to the Middle Stone Age could be proven in Schmergow . The name "Smergowe" appears for the first time in the 13th century. It is Slavic and means "place where morels grow" ; also possible is the "settlement of a man named Smerg" (= morel). The coat of arms therefore shows a morel. Further documentary mentions:
- 1217 Heinricus de Schmergowe (witness in Brandenburg)

- 1305 villam Schmergowe, termini ville Schmergowe
- 1309 Gereke Schmergowe (citizen in Brandenburg)

Despite centuries of tribute to the monastery and office of Lehnin and plundering by robber barons from the Brandenburg region, modest wealth developed here.
