(2896) Preiss ( 1931 RN ; 1934 NT ; 1964 RF ; 1970 GV 1 ; 1977 PH ; 1983 AM 2 ; A908 UA ) is an approximately seven kilometer large asteroid of the inner main belt , which on September 15, 1931 from the German (then: Weimar Republic ) astronomer Karl Wilhelm Reinmuth was discovered at the State Observatory Heidelberg-Königstuhl on the western summit of the Königstuhl near Heidelberg ( IAU code 024) on the Crimean peninsula ( IAU code 095).
designation
(2896) Preiss was named after Günter Preiss (* 1929) in 1992 on the occasion of his retirement as a lawyer and administrator of the Max Planck Society . He played a key role in the establishment and development of the Max Planck Institute for Nuclear Physics in Heidelberg and the Calar Alto Observatory (IAU Code 493) on Calar Alto in the province of Almería ( Spain ). The same applies to his commitment to the Max Planck Institute for Radio Astronomy in Bonn . The name was proposed by the German astronomer Hans Elsässer and supported by the German astronomers Gerhard Klare and Lutz D. Schmadel .
