Kohlschütter is a lunar crater that can not be viewed directly from the Earth as it lies on the Moon's far side. It is located a couple of hundred kilometers to the southeast of the Mare Moscoviense, and due south of the smaller Nagaoka crater. It is a relatively isolated formation surrounded by a multitude of smaller impacts typical of the battered far side.

The outer rim of Kohlschutter is worn and eroded, with a small crater across the northwest side, and smaller impacts along the west and northeastern edge. The southern rim is more shallow than elsewhere. The interior floor is relatively level.

By convention these features are identified on lunar maps by placing the letter on the side of the crater mid-point that is closest to Kohlschütter crater.
