(20074) Laskerschueler Main-belt Asteroid
Discovered on 14 January 1994 by F. Borngen at Tautenburg.
German authoress Else Lasker-Schueler (1869-1945) is a representative of expressionism who used in her poems pictures of oriental tales and Old Testament themes. The friendly rapprochement of Jew and Christian was a real concern to her. Beaten by brownshirts in a Berlin street in 1933, she subsequently lived in exile.Naming citation (20010509/MPCPages.arc), IAU / Minor Planet Center, via NASA/JPL
