The first documentary reference to the Schenkenberg dates from 1329 and dubs it in dem Schenkenberge. The name Schenkenberg is probably a reference to the Mundschenk family, which owned land in the area. The Kuenringer, who also owned property in this area, were called the Oberste Schenken.
Today, the Schenkenberg is surrounded by numerous vineyards.
