The Breitenbeek is a roughly 6.3 km (4 mi) river of Lower Saxony, in the Harz Mountains of central Germany. It is a tributary of the Sperrlutter.[1] It rises at over 620 m in the vicinity of the Rehbergklinik in Oderberg (a part of Sankt Andreasberg). It then flows initially southwards through the Engelsburger Teiche, before it joins the Sperrlutter at 360 m. The Breitenbeek is the largest tributary of the Sperrlutter.
