Johann Gottlob Nathusius

Johann Gottlob Nathusius (April 30, 1760 – July 23, 1835) was a German industrialist.

After the reestablishment of a royal tobacco monopoly, he became a royal factory manager; however under Frederick William III he again regained complete control.

The decline in the economy under the Kingdom of Westphalia enabled him to purchase the Althaldensleben monastery and Schloss Hundisburg, and on these estates he developed a comprehensive set of industries, including breweries, flour mills, a sugar factory, a brickyard, a machinery production and a stoneware and porcelain factory.

Two sons of his, Hermann von Nathusius and Wilhelm von Nathusius were noted animal breeders and contributed to agricultural research.

His daughter Luise married the botanist and conchologist Dr. Louis Pfeiffer.
