Heiligenthal is a village in the municipality of Südergellersen in the district of Lüneburg, Lower Saxony, Germany. It is located in the south-west of Lüneburg, the closest larger city which offers important infrastructure such as a railway station, highway access and a sport airfield. Single-family homes define the scape of the village in modern times. Until today several farmsteads are located in the south of the village and a chapel reminds of the former monastery Sancta Vallis, on which ground it was built. An important landmark, located opposite the chapel, is a war memorial reminding of soldiers who fought in World War I.
