Tyska brinken, Pedestrian street in Gamla Stan, Stockholm, Sweden.

Tyska Brinken runs from Kindstugatan past the German Church down to Mälartorget square, intersecting with multiple streets in Stockholm's medieval district.

Known as Vattubrinken and Skomakarbrinken in the 15th century, the street received its current name in 1880, reflecting the German merchant presence.

In medieval Stockholm, German merchants controlled trade through the Hanseatic League and gathered at the Guild of St Gertrud near the German Church.

The street contains numerous businesses, including card shops, legal firms, and design companies, with building numbers ranging from 13 to 36.

Archaeological excavations in 1993 revealed fragments of a city wall and possible remains of Bocktornet defensive tower at Lilla Nygatan junction.
