Peraga is a minor planet orbiting the Sun that was discovered by German astronomer Paul Götz on January 8, 1905, from Heidelberg.

Semiramis is a minor planet orbiting the Sun within the main asteroid belt. Photometric observations at the Mark Evans Observatory during 2014 gave a rotation period of 5.0689 ± 0.0001 hours. This value is in close agreement with previous studies. The spectrum shows it to be a stony S(IV)-type asteroid.
Marianna is a minor planet orbiting the Sun.
665 Sabine is a minor planet orbiting the Sun that was discovered by German astronomer Wilhelm Lorenz on July 22, 1908.
769 Tatjana is a minor planet orbiting the Sun. The body was named such after Tatiana Larina, protagonist of Alexander Pushkin's poem "Eugene Onegin". It's possible that the name was suggested by the provisional designation of the asteroid, 1913 TA, but unlike bodies named by Wolf, Knopff and Metcalf in the years 1905–1909, there's no naming pattern to support this.
