Their first CD Von Räubern, Lumpen und anderen Schelmen (Of Robbers, Rascals and other Scoundrels) was released in 2000.

Michael Rhein of In Extremo appears as a guest singer for Veris Dulcis and Le pôvre Villon.

This maxi from 2003 is a preview of the subsequent studio album Igni Gena, which also features Si salvas me.

Since this recording, Luzi das L has been a member of Schelmish, while Baccata left for health reasons.

With the fifth CD Igni Gena of 2004 the band makes it obvious that their beat has been remarkably stepped as compared to their previous albums.

Moreover there is a track Ich was ein Chint so wolgetan from Carmina Burana with slight influences from hip hop/rap.

Die Rote Füchsin (Red Vixen) of Filia Irata appears as guest musician while Amsel von Nydeggen is no longer part of the band.

Among excerpts from the show at the Kulturfabrik Krefeld it contains material of several other shows (e.g. together with Das letzte Einhorn and Flex der Biegsame of In Extremo), two videos as a preview of the following album Mente Capti as well as numerous interviews, CD previews, photos, Easter eggs and also a film about Schelmish.

Also Johannes der Säufer left the band on 30 July 2007 and was replaced on the bass by Sideribus illustris.

[3] On 28 October 2009 the ninth album Die hässlichen Kinder (The Ugly Children) was released in Finland and Spain through Napalm Records.
