Ulrichswasser is a river of Lower Saxony, Germany. It is a right tributary of the Warme Bode in the town of Braunlage in the district of Goslar.

Course

[edit]

The source region of the Ulrichswasser lies roughly northeast of Königskrug in the Königsbruch marsh at the foot of the Achtermannshöhe ridge at a height of about 760 metres. The stream then descends a height of 180 metres over a distance of 3 km (1.9 mi) before discharging into the Warme Bode at a height of about 580 m above sea level.

The stream is not named after the forester Arthur Ulrichs [de] (1838–1927) as might be supposed. It is described as the Ulmersches Wasser already on a forest map from the 18th century.
