Schmarsau is a district of the city of Dannenberg (Elbe) in the joint municipality of Elbtalaue in the Lüchow-Dannenberg district in Lower Saxony . The village lies west of the core area of ​​Dannenberg.

In terms of nature, Schmarsau is on a hill in the Lower Drawehn ; the populated, flat south-facing slope partially extends into the district of the neighboring town of Prisser . To the south is the humid valley of the Prisser Bach, where the B 191 runs. To the northwest of the village, one kilometer away, is the Maujahn nature reserve .

history

The place used to be very densely built up, but was then partially destroyed by a major fire in 1861/62. This particularly affected the southern and eastern areas of the village. The subsequent reconstruction took place a little more loosely, individual farms were moved to the edge. In the northwest, considerably older building fabric was spared from the fire, but was later structurally remodeled. An irregularly built round structure can still be seen here . Modern residential developments determine the appearance of the village along the slope in the eastern part.

Southwest of the village is a former water mill on the Prisser Bach, which was operated as a paper mill around 1700, and later as a grain and saw mill.

Schmarsau was originally a municipality in the Dannenberg district and was incorporated into the Prisser municipality in 1929 , which in turn became part of the city of Dannenberg on July 1, 1972.
