Toppenstedt is a municipality in the district of Harburg, in Lower Saxony, Germany, not very far from the Lüneburg Heath.
It consists of two villages: Toppenstedt and Tangendorf. In both villages agriculture and tourism are key economic factors.
In 1930, a farmer discovered during his work the Tangendorf disc brooch, a fibula, dating from about 300 AD. An image of this fibula is part of Toppenstedt 's coat of arms.
