(113256) Prum Main-belt Asteroid
Discovered on 13 September 2002 by E. W. Elst at Hoher List.
Prüm is a town in the Eifel region of Germany. In 720 an Abbey was founded there, which became the favorite monastery of the Carolingian dynasty. In the 13th and 14th centuries the monastery declined and the archbishops of Trier incorporated the rich abbey.Naming citation (MPC batch dated 2016-04-22), IAU / Minor Planet Center, via NASA/JPL
