776 Berbericia is a minor planet orbiting the Sun. A main-belt C-type asteroid,[4] it was discovered on 24 January 1914 by astronomer Adam Massinger at Heidelberg Observatory in southwest Germany. It was named by Max Wolf in honor of Adolf Berberich (1861–1920), a German astronomer.[5][6] The spectra of the asteroid displays evidence of aqueous alteration.[4]
