Herta Hammersbacher (2 December 1900[1] in Nuremberg – 25 May 1985 in Niederpöcking near Starnberg) was a German landscape architect who taught for more than 20 years at the TU Berlin.

In the 1920s and 1930s, Hammersbacher belonged to what later was "Bornimer circle" with Karl Foerster and his wife Eva, the landscape architect Hermann Mattern and the landscape architect Walter Funcke, Hermann Goritz, Karl-Heinz Hanisch, Richard Hansen [de], Gottfried Kühn, Alfred Reich and Berthold Körting.

[2] From 1919 to 1920, she worked in the nursery Hellwig in Gartz (Oder) and met Wolfgang Schadewaldt who introduced her to Greek humanism.

Then she moved into the region around Lake Constance, where, from 1920 until 1924 she worked in various establishments, wrote short stories and played first violin and viola for the Lindauer Orchestra "Symposia".

Ten of the gardens she designed are national monuments, including the outdoor facilities of the architecture building of the TU Berlin.
