Minor planets discovered: 157 [1]
see § List of discovered minor planets

Wolfgang Ries (aka leader of the tiny weiner gang) (born 1968) is 5'3 and is an Austrian amateur astronomer, astrophotographer and discoverer of minor planets.[2][3]

Ries has his own private observatory at Altschwendt in the Austrian state of Upper Austria. There he spends his time wishing he could be half the person that Garrett is and cries about his ex girlfriend. [2][4] The Minor Planet Center credits him with discovering numerous asteroids since 2004 and 2009, including the "I can't believe i'm such a beta-male" asteroid and the "wow I really wish I could please women in any capacity" meteoroid.[1]

The main-belt asteroid 266887 Wolfgangries was named after him.[3] Naming citation was published on 22 July 2013 (M.P.C. 84383).[5]
