It was discovered on 14 September 1925, by German astronomer Karl Reinmuth at Heidelberg Observatory in southern Germany, and named after the discoverer's son, Günter Reinmuth. Orbit and classification Günter orbits the Sun in the inner main-belt at a distance of 1.7–2.8 AU once every 3 years and 4 months (1,224 days). Its orbit has an eccentricity of 0.24 and an inclination of 5° with respect to the ecliptic. As no precoveries were taken and no prior identifications were made, the body's observation arc begins at Heidelberg, one night after its official discovery observation. Physical characteristics According to the survey carried out by NASA's Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer with its subsequent NEOWISE mission, Günter measures 4.9 kilometers in diameter, and its surface has an albedo of 0.117. As of 2017, its composition, rotation period and shape remain unknown. Naming This minor planet was named by Karl Reinmuth after his son, Günter Reinmuth. The official 1944 naming citation was published by the Minor Planet Center on 18 April 1977 (M.P.C. 4157). References 30em 2017-03-21 last obs.
