gold grease anti seize
Explanation:
After reading Hans-Henning's response, I became curious about this product, so I did a bit more research. The link he provides is to the web site of a company called Alfred Schramm Molecular-Technik. They produce a lubricant product labeled Molecular Anti Seize "Goldfett". Here is the product description:

Langzeit Hochtemperatur-Montagepaste für den Schutz stark beanspruchter Verbindungen gegen Festfressen, Verschweißen, Korrosion und Passungsrost
Lifetime, high-temperature resistant lubricating compound for the prevention of seizure, galling and corrosion on threaded or flanged connections subject to high load

Compared to some other product descriptions, I am now almost certain that Goldfett=gold grease and that both are generic terms. Product descriptions of gold grease by several different manufacturers all mention corrosion preventing qualities.

gold grease anti seize


Explanation:
I do not profess to have any knowledge of this field whatsoever. However, I did a couple of web searches that turned up results that may help you. I surmise from a cursory glance at some of the pages listed below that 'gold grease' is a generic term referring to a specific kind of lubricant. Many different companies seem to categorize their lubricant products by color (red grease, gold grease, etc.)

Anyway, here are some URLs produced by a Google search for "gold grease" + "anti seize"

agree  Daniela Mühling: Could be a brand name, but the company put quotation marks around Goldfett, so...it could be a generic term
