(12622) Doppelmayr is an asteroid of the central main belt that was discovered on September 24, 1960 by the Dutch astronomer couple Cornelis Johannes van Houten and Ingrid van Houten-Groeneveld . The discovery came about as part of the Palomar-Leiden survey , during which Tom Gehrels examined field plates recorded at the University of Leiden with the 120 cm Oschin Schmidt telescope of the Palomar observatory .

According to the SMASS classification ( Small Main-Belt Asteroid Spectroscopic Survey ), a spectroscopic study by Gianluca Masi , Sergio Foglia and Richard P. Binzel at (12622) Doppelmayr assumed a light surface, so it could, roughly speaking, be trade an S asteroid .

(12622) Doppelmayr is named after the German astronomer Johann Gabriel Doppelmayr . The asteroid was named on January 22, 2008.
