670 Ottegebe is a minor planet orbiting the Sun. In 2007 lightcurve data showed that Ottegebe rotates every 10.041 ± 0.002 hours.[2] The name refers to a character in Gerhardt Hauptmann's play Der arme Heinrich. It is orbiting close to a 5:2 mean motion resonance with Jupiter, which is located at 2.824 AU.[3]
