(1230) Riceia is an asteroid of the main belt that was discovered on October 9, 1931 by the German astronomer Karl Wilhelm Reinmuth in Heidelberg .
The name of the asteroid is derived from the American amateur astronomer Hugh Rice .
The initials of the asteroids with the numbers 1227 to 1234, which were all discovered by Reinmuth, together form G STRACKE , the name of the German astronomer and calculator of asteroid orbits Gustav Stracke , who had asked that no asteroid should be named after him (see there).
