Richard Schorr

Richard Reinhard Emil Schorr (August 20, 1867, Kassel - September 21, 1951, Badgastein, Salzburg), was an astronomer. The lunar crater Schorr and the asteroid 1235 Schorria are named after him.

From 1889 to 1891, Schorr worked as an assistant editor of Astronomische Nachrichten, at the observatory at Kiel. [ [http://www.aip.de/image_archive/Institute.Astronomische_Nachrichten.html Image Archive - Richard Reinhard Emil Schorr] - Astrophysical Institute Potsdam.] Schorr was the director of the Hamburger Sternwarte (Hamburg Observatory) from 1902-1941, succeeding Georg Rümker. Between 1913 and 1920, Schorr, in cooperation with the Danish astronomer Holger Thiele, took more than 1700 photographic plates which were used for searching and position determination of comets and asteroids. They discovered 30 new asteroids and one new comet, D/1918 W1 (Schorr), during this time.
