Heinrich Hubert Maria Josef Houben (born 27. october 1875 in Waldfeucht (Rheinland) Germany, died 28. june 1940 in Tubingen) was a German chemist. He made achievements within ketone synthesis, terpenes, and camphor studies. After being wounded several times on the front lines in World War I, Houben was made head of the war laboratory. He improved the Hoesch reaction which is now normaly called Houben-Hoesch reaction. Houben organized and made a major rework of the book Methods of Organic Chemistry which is now refered to as Houben-Weyl Methods of Organic Chemistry.
Life
Houben studied at the University of Bonn and changed his subjets from mathematics and astronomy to chemistry under the influence of August Kekulé. He received his ph.D. for work with Julius Bredt in 1898. After some time at the University of Aachen and University of Bonn Houben joined the laboratory of Emil Fischer at the University of Berlin. After his habilitation in 1908 he stayed in Berlin until the beginning of World War I. Houben served in the army and after beeing wounded several times he became head of the war laboratory.

Work
During his time with Emil Fisher his research was focused on the mangnesium organic compounds, while in his time at the Biologischen Reichsanstalt Houben was improving the already known Hoesch reaction.
