Scharmbeck had 3031 inhabitants in 1910. Then it had a post office, a registry, an office of weights and measures, a Lutheran church, a synagogue, agricultural, technical and commercial schools, coal gas works, several bank branches, horse, sheep, livestock and general markets, furniture, cigar and starch factories, a textile industry, a tannery, a dairy, and flour mills.

Other Information:
1. There were two Marten Monsees living in Oberendermoor at the time of Anne Monsees' birth. Both had a wife named Anne and both had a daughter named Anne. One of these Marten Monsees was always described as a Baumann whereas the other was always described as an Einwohner. I believe the Einwohner is my ancestor, because the daughter Anne of the Baumann, who was born on the 17/3/1752, married a Gevert Bullenwinkel on the 2/11/1773 in Scharmbeck. In this wedding record the father is described as Marten Monsees, Baumann in Oberendermoor.
2. The clerk in the Scharmbeck church told me that Schmonsees or Monsees is a corruption of the French 'Monsieur'. He said that probably Huguenots (French Protestants) settled in the area.
