(5265) Schadow is an asteroid of the 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 was made 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 ( IAU code 675) .
The asteroid belongs to the Hygiea family, a rather older group of asteroids, as is believed, the largest member of which is the asteroid (10) Hygiea .
(5265) Schadow was named after the Prussian graphic artist and sculptor Johann Gottfried Schadow (1764–1850), the most important representative of German classicism , one of whose main works is the Quadriga on the Brandenburg Gate .
