Hohe Elbgeest is an Amt ("common administration for several smaller municipalities") in the district of Lauenburg, in Schleswig-Holstein, Germany.[1] It is situated approximately 7 km north of Geesthacht, and 27 km east of Hamburg. Its seat is in Dassendorf.

In 2008, the Amt of Aumühle-Wohltorf was disbanded and its municipalities (Aumühle, Wohltorf,[2] and the unincorporated area of Sachsenwald)[citation needed] were folded into Hohe Elbgeest.[2]
