Egestorf is a municipality in the district of Harburg, in Lower Saxony, Germany.
Justus Johannes Heindrich Ribock (occasionally: Riebock, Riboc) (12 September 1743 – 1785) was a German physician, amateur flute player and designer born in Egestorf, Germany.
In 1905, an Egestorf pastor, Wilhelm Bode (20 October 1860 - 10 June 1927), bought an area of heathland, the so-called Totengrund.

Also worth visiting are the Emhof in Wilsede, the "Totengrund" part of the heath, the old heathland churches in Egestorf and Undeloh, the nature information centres in Döhle, Niederhaverbeck and Undeloh and the Pietzmoor marsh near Schneverdingen.
The Totengrund was the kernel of the present-day nature reserve when the Egestorf priest, Wilhelm Bode, purchased the Totengrund in 1906 with donations.
