Herman Rudolf Günsberg (1827–1879) was a chemist from Pidkamin, near Brody, who distinguished himself by his fostering of the economic development of Galicia.
He launched his academic career by completing a doctoral thesis at the University of Jena.
Among his first articles worthy of notice are "Die Fachschule für chemische Technik an der K. K. Technischen Hochschule zu Lemberg" (1866, Szkoly techniczne), "Mysli odpowiedniego urzadzenia szkol technicznych" (1868) and "Die chemisch-technischen Fachschulen" (1869).
His papers were presented in important central European, British, American and Scandinavian scientific journals particularly in the latter half of the 19th century.
He especially wrote about questions concerning industrial and agricultural chemistry in Austrian scientific journals like Berichte der Deutschen Chemischen Gesellschaft, Wiener Akademische Sitzungsberichte and Dingler's Polytechnic Journal.
