(113952) Schramm is an asteroid of the main inner belt that was found on October 10, 2002 as part of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey at the 2.5-meter Ritchey-Chrétien reflector of the Apache Point Observatory ( IAU code 645) in New Mexico was discovered. Unconfirmed sightings of the asteroid had already been made under the provisional designation 1995 WL 32 in November 1995 at the outstation of the Steward Observatory on Kitt Peak .

Mean distance from the Sun ( major semiaxis ), eccentricity and inclination of the orbit plane of the asteroid roughly correspond to the Vesta family , a large group of asteroids named after (4) Vesta , the second largest asteroid and third largest celestial body in the main belt.

(113952) Schramm was named on January 30, 2010 after the American astrophysicist David Schramm .
