Albert Gustav Bunge (* 15. July 1893 in Rathenow; † 2 April 1967 in Salzburg) was a German metal and enamel artist and painter in Emmering near Fürstenfeldbruck. Albert Gustav, son of Gustav and Anna Bunge, née Thielsch, grew up in Rathenow. The father was a gold worker and died in 1912. At the age of 21, Alfred Bunge went into World War I. In November 1914, his right hand was mutilated in a battle near Langemarck, Belgium. In 1918 Bunge moved from Hanover to Munich and enrolled at the Munich Art Academy; he attended Angelo Jank's drawing class, among others.
In 1922, Bunge and his academy colleague Willy Wenz founded the "Society for Applied Art"; both showed joint designs at the "German Trade Show" in Munich. In 1924, the "Gesellschaft für Nutzfahrzeuge" merged with the "Neues Münchener Kunstgewerbe" company of the goldsmith Alois Wörle to form the "Neue Münchner Kunststätte AG". In November 1927 Bunge registered the operation of a metal art workshop for copper, brass and bronze work in Emmering and in 1931 Bunge showed enamel work for the first time at the Munich art exhibition in the Glaspalast. In 1932 Bunge was in Paris; he drew and had bronze sculptures cast.
