Kurt Waldemar Tschenscher was a German former football referee. Born in Schimischow, Weimar Germany, Tschenscher took up refereeing in 1948 and by 1953 he was part of the German Football Association's group of top referees. Within another five years, he was promoted to the FIFA list of international referees. In October 1959, he refereed the second leg of Yugoslavia's 1960 European Nations' Cup first round win over Bulgaria. In September 1962, he took charge of the replay of the 1962 European Cup Winners' Cup Final, in which Atl�tico Madrid beat Fiorentina 3?0. By 1966, Tschenscher was one of the top referees in Europe, a fact reflected in his appointment to the first leg of the 1965?66 European Cup semi-final between Partizan and Manchester United, and then a group stage match between Brazil and Bulgaria at the 1966 FIFA World Cup. The following season, he was named as the referee for the 1967 European Cup Final between Celtic and Internazionale.
