Alfred Bohrmann


Alfred Bohrmann was a German astronomer and discoverer of minor planets.
He did his Ph.D. dissertation in 1927 at the Heidelberg-Königstuhl State Observatory, at the University of Heidelberg. At the time, the observatory at Heidelberg was a center for asteroid discovery by Max Wolf and Karl Reinmuth and others, and during his time there Bohrmann discovered 9 asteroids. Bohrmann worked there from 1924 to 1969, publishing more than 700 minor planet observations. He left the observatory after a dispute with the higher authority.
The asteroid 1635 Bohrmann is named after him.
