(10543) Klee is an asteroid of the inner main belt that was discovered by the German astronomer Freimut Börngen on February 27, 1992 at the Thuringian State Observatory in Tautenburg ( IAU code 033). An unconfirmed sighting of the asteroid had already taken place in October 1980 under the provisional designation 1980 TL 7 at the Crimean Observatory in Nautschnyj .

The Italian astronomer Vincenzo Zappalà defined in a publication from 1995 (et al.) That (10543) Klee belonged 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 . According to the SMASS classification ( Small Main-Belt Asteroid Spectroscopic Survey ), a spectroscopic study by Gianluca Masi , Sergio Foglia and Richard P. Binzel at (10543) Klee assumed a light surface, so it could, roughly speaking, be around trade an S asteroid .

The orbital elements of (10543) Klee are almost identical to those of the smaller one, assuming the absolute brightness of 14.4 compared to 15.9, asteroids (107505) 2001 DK 49 .

The track from (10543) Klee was secured in 1999 so that numbering could be assigned. The asteroid was named after the painter and graphic artist Paul Klee on November 23 of the same year at the suggestion of Freimut Börngen .
