The names of the minor planets are not just arabesques of its discoverers, but they also reflect the ever-changing zeitgeist of more than two centuries. Increasingly, the list of names is no longer to be regarded as merely an inventory of deceased astronomers or a list of mythological figures. More and more not only prominent figures in the history of astronomy but also their spouses have given their names to minor planets. In grateful memory of our colleagues Hilmar Duerbeck and Waltraut Seitter, we introduce a new catalog listing pairs (or triples) of married couples after whom minor planets have been named.
