(10932) Rebentrost Main-belt Asteroid
Discovered on 18 February 1998 by G. Lehmann at Drebach.
David Rebentrost (1614-1703) worked in Drebach as a vicar, doctor and herbalist. The garden he designed for his vicarage received wide fame. As a reward for curing elector Johann Georg II, he was invited to pick some plants from the elector's garden. The rare species of crocus he selected continues to grow only in Drebach.Naming citation (19990928/MPCPages.arc), IAU / Minor Planet Center, via NASA/JPL
