Lüchow (German: [ˈlyːçoː]; Polabian: Ljauchüw)[a] is a city in northeastern Lower Saxony, Germany.

Situated in the historical region of Wendland, approximately 13 km north of Salzwedel, Lüchow is located on the German Framework Road.

[3] The surrounding landscape was created by glacial action, rising in the west, lower in the east.

Several of the boroughs are named for, and generally represent, previously independent settlements which Lüchow has incorporated.

Lüchow suffered from an outbreak of the Plague in 1537, and barely half a century later, in 1589, was largely destroyed by fire.
