(19914) Klagenfurt is an asteroid of the inner main belt . It was discovered by the German astronomer Freimut Börngen on October 27, 1973 at the Thuringian State Observatory Tautenburg ( IAU code 033).

The asteroid belongs to the Nysa group, a group of asteroids named after (44) Nysa (also called the Hertha family, after (135) Hertha ). The timeless (non- osculating ) orbital elements of (19914) Klagenfurt are almost identical to those of eleven smaller asteroids, assuming the absolute brightness , such as (39729) 1996 XD and (136478) 2005 GD 63 .

According to the SMASS classification ( Small Main-Belt Asteroid Spectroscopic Survey ), a spectroscopic study by Gianluca Masi , Sergio Foglia and Richard P. Binzel (19914) assigned Klagenfurt to the taxonomic class of S-asteroids .

The railway from (19914) Klagenfurt was secured in 2001 so that numbering could be assigned. On May 9 of the same year the asteroid was named after the Austrian city ​​of Klagenfurt (today Klagenfurt am Wörthersee ) at the suggestion of Freimut Börngen .
