'''Bonstorf''' is a village in the municipality of [[Südheide (municipality)|Südheide]] in the north of [[Landkreis Celle|Celle district]] on the [[Lüneburg Heath]] in central Germany.
Bonstorf lies about 3&nbsp;km from Hermannsburg on the boundary with the district of [[Soltau-Fallingbostel]] and currently has about 530 inhabitants. In 1973 it was incorporated into the municipality (''Einheitsgemeinde'') of [[Hermannsburg]] as part of the [[Lower Saxony|Lower Saxon]] regional and administrative reform. Hermannsburg was merged into Südheide in 2015. The hamlets of Barmbostel and [[Hetendorf]] belong to Bonstorf.
Near the village are the [[Bonstorf Barrows]], the remains of a [[neolithic]] or [[Early Bronze Age]] burial site.
Bonstorf lies on the small stream, the [[Brunau (Örtze)|Brunau]], which discharges north of Hermannsburg into the [[Örtze]].
The village is primarily agricultural in character and its appearance is dominated by farmhouses as well as a relatively large car dealership.
