The Gießenbach is a brook in Germany. It rises in the Hirschlacke headwaters between the Kleiner Unterberg and the Unterberger Joch and flows into the Klausenbach west of Kiefersfelden .
On the upper reaches of the Gießenbach there is the listed Grandlkaser and the Naturfreundehaus Gießenbachhütte at the Schreckalm .
It is dammed by a dam below the Schopperalm. Most of the water is directed through a pressure pipe to the lower-lying small power station in Gießenbach (built in 1910). The remaining water flows through the 600 meter long Gießenbachklamm .
The name is not originally from Giessen , 'slowly flowing water', but documented as Diessenpach in 1530 (then Diesbach and the like), and was only later misinterpreted.
