Hans Herk (also Herc, Harg, Hark) was a potter and tile baker in Sand in Lower Hesse (today Bad Emstal-Sand ).

He produced tiles for the regional market around 1550 , moved around 1554 with models ( patritzes ), which were carved by Philipp Soldan from Frankenberg , among others , in the direction of the Baltic Sea in order to make molds or models on site in pottery, from which tiles for the regional Market as well as for export to Scandinavia and the Baltic States.

Von Herk has a form with his name HERC HANS in the Danish National Museum in Copenhagen ; other tiles only have an "H". Hans Harg, who made tiles dated and signed accordingly in 1622 and 1628 (today in the Museum of Korbach), is likely to have been his son or grandson.
