(14014) Münchhausen is an asteroid of the main belt , which was discovered on January 14, 1994 by the German astronomer Freimut Börngen at the Thuringian State Observatory Tautenburg ( observatory code 033) in the Tautenburg Forest in Thuringia .
The asteroid belongs to the Eos family, a group of asteroids, which typically have large semiaxes from 2.95 to 3.1 AU , bounded inward by the Kirkwood gap of the 7: 3 resonance with Jupiter , and orbital inclinations between 8 ° and 12 °. The group is named after the asteroid (221) Eos . The family is believed to have emerged from a collision more than a billion years ago.
The asteroid was named on July 26, 2000 after the German nobleman Hieronymus Carl Friedrich von Münchhausen (1720–1797), who became famous under the name "Baron of Lies" because of the stories attributed to him by Baron Münchhausen.
