(35357) Haraldlesch is an asteroid of the inner main belt , which was discovered on September 28, 1997 at the Starkenburg observatory in Heppenheim ( IAU code 611). After (14080) Heppenheim , (12053) Turtlestar and (18567) Segenthau it is the fourth asteroid to be discovered at the amateur observatory (as of 2009 there were 58). The asteroid had already been sighted on May 3, 1976 by Hans-Emil Schuster at the La Silla Observatory in Chile under the provisional name 1976 JC 4 .

Mean solar distance ( major semi-axis ), eccentricity and inclination of the orbit plane of the asteroid correspond to the Flora family, a large group of asteroids named after (8) Flora . Asteroids of this family move in a 4: 9 orbital resonance with the planet Mars around the sun . The group is also called the Ariadne family, after the asteroid (43) Ariadne .

(35357) Haraldlesch was named after the German astrophysicist Harald Lesch on March 30, 2010 at the suggestion of Tobias Häusler . On June 18, 2010, Harald Lesch was presented with a certificate from the observatory.
