The Ramaty High Energy Solar Spectroscopic Imager (RHESSI) proved to be an excellent mission for studies of Gamma Ray Bursts (GRB). Its spectrometer contains 9 large Germanium detectors working in the event by event mode. Due to only weak side shielding, a continuous detection of photons from half of the sky is possible. The effective energy range for GRBs extends from about 30-100 keV up to 17 MeV. With its very good time resolution of 1 µsec, the spectrometer can also detects Compton events for polarization measurements. About 6 GRB per month are observed by RHESSI providing high resolution data for analysis of bursts' spectral characteristics and their temporal variations. Up to date no distinct spectral structures could be found. Details of data analysis are presented using two strong bursts: GRB021206 and GRB030329.
