The first written mention of Scharpenlohe comes from the year 1334, when Margrave Margrave Ludwig Arnold von Rossow awarded half of the village of Scharphenloch. Other mentions are 1472 schappenloe, 1541 scharplo, 1600 Scharffenlohe, 1608 Scharffelauge, 1687 Scharpenlohe. In 1804 the village and estate were called Scharpenlohe. From the von Rossow the property went to the von Kröcher, who after-lent it to von Barsewisch. From 1772 until after 1856 half of the village belonged to the von Barsewisch in Seehausen. In 1652 it was said: Is a lost village, which is submerged and completely surrendered to the Elbe, since the buildings are also up to the roofs in the water.
During the land reform after 1945, the property of the von Saldern family in Scharpenlohe was expropriated without compensation in favor of previously landless farmers (new farmers). (Source: Wikipedia)
