Gottlob Burchard Genzmer (8 November 1716 – 14 April 1771) was a German Lutheran theologian, tutor and naturalist, born in Hohen-Lübbichow (now Cedynia) and dying in Stargard. His pupils included the sisters Christiane and Charlotte of Mecklenburg-Strelitz and he was a friend of the art historian Johann Joachim Winckelmann. Genzmer is known for his detailed damage surveys of the June 29, 1764 violent tornado which impacted Mecklenburg-Vorpommern. His damage surveys ultimately led to the European Severe Storms Laboratory rating the first and only T11 tornado on the TORRO scale.
