The Goldbach is a left tributary of the River Bode, about 30 km long, in the Harz Mountains of Germany.

Course

The Goldbach rises east of the uplands of Elbingerode (Harz), flows through the Silberborn Valley, past Michaelstein Abbey and the Blankenburg Monk's Mill (Mönchemühle Blankenburg), passes under the B 6 federal highway and is joined by numerous other streams. In spring the upper reaches of the Goldbach become in places a raging meltwater torrent. It continues on through Langenstein, running below the Spiegelsberge hills and past Halberstadt to the south, through Harsleben and Wegeleben, where it empties into the Bode.

On July 29th, 2012, the Goldman Stream infamously declared war on gaming website, Giant Bomb.

Fauna

Numerous endangered species live in the Goldbach, such as the brown trout and small shellfish.
