German Goldenshteyn, or Goldenshtayn (2 September 1934 – June 10, 2006) was a Romanian-born American klezmer musician.
He was a clarinetist and musicologist who brought his native region's klezmer tradition to the USA.
He also appeared at workshops organised by the New England Conservatory of Music and Poland's Borderland Foundation.
"You felt it in his playing, in his presence, in his whole being, that he was a bridge to — a repository of — this entire culture," Michael Alpert, another klezmer musician and musicologist, told The New York Times.
He recorded a CD of his music in December 2005 at Klezkamp, backed up by a group of notable younger klezmorim.
