Georg August Zenker (11 June 1855 in Leipzig – 6 February 1922 in Bipindi) was a German gardener and naturalist.
Subsequently, he was put in charge of the Sibange Farm, located near Libreville (Gabon), and later on, he worked as a preparator at Yaoundé Station in Kamerun.
In 1895 he quit the colonial service and returned to Germany, but soon afterwards, he went back to Kamerun as a private citizen and established a plantation at Bipindi, where he grew coffee, cacao and rubber.
[1] During his many years spent in Kamerun, he amassed an enormous collection of botanical, zoological and ethnographic items.
[2] Unfortunately, his botanical specimens sent to Berlin were for the most part destroyed during World War II.
