Schwiederstorf (Low German: Swiersdörp) is a village in the municipality Neu Wulmstorf in the district Harburg in the north of Lower Saxony, Germany. It is part of the Hamburg Metropolitan Region.
Schwiederstorf — although a separate 'Ort' — forms almost a joint village with Elstorf to the west. Daerstorf lies in the north, the Harburg Hills in the east and Bachheide and Eversen-Heide further to the south.
Signs of the Neolithic Funnelbeaker culture like the nearby tumuli of Elstorf and Daerstorf show early settlements from the bronze age in this area.
The first official record of Schwiederstorf dates back to 1355.
During the First French Empire it belonged to the département Bouches-de-l'Elbe.
Just shortly before the end of World War II Elstorf and Schwiederstorf were captured on April 20, 1945 by the A-Companie of the 1st Rifle Brigade and the 8th King’s Royal Irish Hussars of the English troops.
