Scharmbeck was first mentioned in a document in 1197 as Scherembecke.

The place name is made up of two parts. The syllable beck suggests that the place has always been on the village stream. The syllable scharm, on the other hand, cannot be clearly derived.

According to local historian Bernhard Dageförde, the meaning scharn/scarn = dirt/swamp is likely. Field names indicate former moors in the Scharmbeck district.

The Scharmbeck Harvest Festival, the largest harvest festival in northern Germany, is well known across the region. The festival takes place every year in September. Floats drive through the village in a parade, decorated with motifs, sometimes larger, elaborate buildings. A royal couple is elected on the occasion of the harvest festival. The harvest festival was celebrated for the first time in 1949.

The Scharmbeck Volunteer Fire Department was founded on June 3, 1887. The old fire station has a hose tower that was built in 1949. Besides Scharmbeck, only Bahlburg has such a tower in Winsen. On August 7, 2009, the Scharmbeck fire department moved into a new building.
