The name refers to a character in Gerhardt Hauptmann's play Der arme Heinrich. It is orbiting close to a 5:2 mean motion resonance with Jupiter, which is located at 2.824 AU.
756 Lilliana is a minor planet orbiting the Sun that was discovered by American astronomer Joel Hastings Metcalf on 26 April 1908 from Taunton, Massachusetts. It rotates around its axis of rotation every 9.36 hours.
947 Monterosa is a minor planet orbiting the Sun.
972 Cohnia is a minor planet orbiting the Sun, one of several such in the asteroid belt. It was discovered on 18 January 1908 by a team in Heidelberg led by Max Wolf. In 2007, lightcurve data showed that Cohnia rotates every 18.472 ± 0.004 hours.
