Schnackenburg is a town in the Lüchow-Dannenberg district, in Lower Saxony, Germany. It is situated on the left bank of the Elbe. It is part of the Samtgemeinde Gartow. Lying at the easternmost projection of Lower Saxony, the town is bordered on all sides except the west by territory that was formerly East Germany. It is the least densely populated town in what was West Germany, although there are nine towns in what was formerly East Germany that are less densely populated .
The Polabian name of Schnackenburg is Godegord , probably from god ‘snake’ and gord ‘fortress’, ‘town’. The German name Schnackenburg appears to be derived from Low Saxon Snaak or Snack ‘snake’ and Borg ‘fortress’, ‘town’.
