Discovered on 5 March 1989 by Z. Vavrova at Klet.
In 1966 the Astronomical Society of Lucerne got permission from the city to use an observatory dome that was located on the grounds of Hubelmatt, a public school. Public tours have been held at the observatory every Tuesday evening. In 1979 a new observatory opened on the roof of the nearby schoolhouse, Hubelmatt West.Naming citation (MPC batch dated 2017-01-12), IAU / Minor Planet Center, via NASA/JPL
