The Glinder Au is a 17 km long, right tributary of the Bille from the district of Stormarn (Schleswig-Holstein) with its mouth in Hamburg-Billstedt.

The source of the Glinder Au lies between Langelohe and Kronshorst (Brunsbek). It flows in a south-westerly direction, is fed by the Langeloher Graben and the Stellauer Bach and passes under the federal autobahn 24. There, in the Friederici Park recreation area, it feeds the Glinder Mühlenteich and used to power a copper mill.

It then flows through the town of Glinde and then turns west in front of the railway embankment of the former Südstormarn district railway, where the Glinder Au forms the border between Oststeinbek and its district of Havighorst. A powder mill (built in 1581) stood here at Domhorst estate on the Domhorst mill pond.

Further west just behind the right-hand tributary Forellenbach is the Oststeinbek mill pond. Behind it it then reaches the Hamburg area, flows north of Mümmelmannsberg, becomes a lake again (fallow landscape Steinfurths Diek, created in the 1970s along Steinfurther Diek, intended as a natural monument with rare birds and butterflies - also very popular with model boat owners).

After passing a fish ladder, it again crosses under the A 1 as a brook, where it widens below Kirchsteinbek to the (Steinbeker) mill pond, then crosses under the federal highway 5, before finally flowing into the Bille about a kilometer south of it.

In the 1970s, the Glinder Au north of Glinde had completely drained due to gravel quarrying.

Not much going on, nice view. Only the motorway is loud when there isn't a traffic jam.
