1976 DG. Discovered 1976 Feb. 27 by P. Wild at Zimmerwald.
Named for a Moravian town, by the river of the same name. Founded in the 11th century, the community prospered from rich silver deposits. The municipal and mining laws of Jihlava were to become a model for analogous regulations all over the world. (M 4786)
This minor planet was named by I. Bauersima, a geodesist at Berne University, in honor of his native town.
