1419 Danzig, provisional designation 1929 RF, is an asteroid from the asteroid belt discovered by German astronomer Karl Reinmuth at Heidelberg Observatory on 5 September 1929. The main-belt asteroid orbits the Sun at a distance of 2.0–2.6 AU once every three and a half years. Its rotation period is 8.12 hours.[1]
It was named after the now Polish city and port on the Baltic sea, Gdańsk (German: Danzig). The city was also honored by another minor planet, 764 Gedania.[2]
