Bremke is a village in the Gemeinde Gleichen in southern Lower Saxony.
The village of 887 residents is located about ten kilometers south-east of Göttingen and lies in the shadow of the two small mountains called the Gleichen for the castles that once stood on their peaks. Bremke is the location of an outdoor stage, the Brüder Grimm Waldbühne, built in 1949, which stages performances in the summer. The local synagogue was destroyed during Kristallnacht in 1938, and the last of the small number of Jews living in the village left the following year. On Eschenberg there are remnants of the village's Jewish cemetery.
The Bremke is a long headstream of the Bode River in Saxony-Anhalt and Lower Saxony, Germany.

For its entire length the stream forms the boundary between the two German federal states and until 1990 between East and West Germany. Even today the old East German convoy road has survived not far from the eastern bank of the stream.
