Agathenburg (in High German, in Low Saxon: ) is a municipality in the district of Stade, Lower Saxony, Germany. It was formerly known as Lieth.
== History == Lieth, as it was originally named, belonged to the Prince-Archbishopric of Bremen, a territory of imperial immediacy established in 1180. In the mid-16th century the inhabitants of Lieth adopted Lutheranism. During the Leaguist occupation under Johan 't Serclaes, Count of Tilly, Lieth suffered from attempts of re-Catholicisation.
