    249 Ilse is a Main belt asteroid. It has an unusually slow rotation period, about 3.5 days.

    It was discovered by C. H. F. Peters on August 16, 1885, in Clinton, New York and was named after Ilse, a legendary German princess.

    Due to the long rotation period, a possible asteroidal satellite of Ilse was proposed by R. P. Binzel in 1987 however no evidence of this has been found. [3]
