eponym=Paul Hainzel Hainzel is the southern member of a trio of overlapping lunar craters. The composite rim is located at the west edge of "
Lacus Timoris " in the southwest sector of theMoon . The heavily worn Mee crater is attached to the southwest wall; its rim forming a ridge running from the south of the Hainzel formation.The Hainzel crater forms the south portion of the grouping, and is overlain by 'Hainzel C' to the northeast, and then by 'Hainzel A' in the north. 'Hainzel A' is the most intact and also the youngest of the cluster. The wall between Hainzel and 'Hainzel C' is the most intact of the interior rims, forming a promontory from the southeast wall. Both 'Hainzel A' and C have central peaks.
