Alfred Bohrmann (February 28 1904 – January 4 2000) was a German astronomer.
He did his Ph.D. dissertation in 1927 at the Landessternwarte Heidelberg-Königstuhl (Königstuhl Observatory, near Heidelberg) at the University of Heidelberg [1] (http://www.lsw.uni-heidelberg.de/personnel/diss.phtml).
At the time, the observatory at Heidelberg was a center for asteroid discovery by Max Wolf and Karl Reinmuth and others, and during his time there Bohrmann discovered a number of asteroids.
Bohrmann worked at the observatory from 1924 to 1969. The asteroid 1635 Bohrmann is named after him.
