The Sachsenwald (German pronunciation: [ˈzaksn̩valt] ) is a forest near Hamburg, Germany. The forest derives its name, which can be translated as 'Saxon woods' or 'Saxony forest', from being located in the former Duchy of Saxe-Lauenburg, which itself is a part of the greater Lower Saxony region as defined by the former Duchy of Saxony. Today, the forest is an unincorporated area in the district of Herzogtum Lauenburg (Duchy of Lauenburg) in Schleswig-Holstein. It is also a member of the amt Hohe Elbgeest, in which it has non-voting representation. The Sachsenwald has an area of 68 km2.
