The municipality is separated from the Elbe by a forest strip about 300 meters wide. The location is crossed from west to east by the federal highway 5, which connects it directly to the major city of Hamburg.
The first documented mention of Schnakenbek occurred in 1230 in the Ratzeburg tithe register as Snakenbeke. According to Wolfgang Laur, the place name is derived from a Low German water name meaning "snake creek." The settlement was located at a ford of the old salt road from Lüneburg to Lübeck, for the protection of which the Ertheneburg was built, which Heinrich the Lion had burnt down in 1181.
