Max Rudolf "Rudi" Lemberg FRS FAA (19 October 1896 – 10 April 1975) was a German-Australian biochemist who specialised in porphyrin structure and function.

The couple were involved in social work programs to improve the slums and in youth groups.

In 1949, he and collaborator J. W. Legge published Hematin Compounds and Bile Pigments,[6] the "high-water mark in Lemberg's scientific development and thinking".

The house was designed by fellow German refugee Hugh Buhrich in the Bauhaus style.

In 1973 Hanna Lemberg made an embroidered wall-hanging (or tapestry) titled The Sanctuary depicting their home on a large native bush land plot.
