Hersbruck (German pronunciation: [hɛʁsˈbʁʊk] ⓘ) is a small town in Middle Franconia, Bavaria, Germany, belonging to the district Nürnberger Land.

In the Middle Ages the Golden Route from Nuremberg to Prague passed through the town, which brought prosperity.

Hersbruck was the birthplace, in 1673, of Jacob Paul von Gundling, the famous and unfortunate historian at the court of Brandenburg-Prussia.

In 2007 the monument Ohne Namen (Without names) by Vittore Bocchetta has been erected in the Rosengarten close to the camp site.

The artist, one of the Italian political deportees, had managed to escape in April 1945 during one of the death marches from Hersbruck to Dachau, when the camp was evacuated by the Nazis with the approach of U.S. forces.
