Template: Infobox Asteroid / Maintenance / Error 1

( 1232) Cortusa is an asteroid of the main belt, which was discovered on 10 October 1931 in Heidelberg by the German astronomer Karl Wilhelm Reinmuth.

The asteroid is named ( Primulaceae ) after the plant genus of Cortusa.

The initials of the asteroid with the numbers 1227 to 1234, all of which were discovered by Reinmuth, together form G STRACKE, the name of the German astronomer and estimator of asteroid orbits Gustav Stracke, who asked that after him no asteroid should be appointed (see there).
