Continuing the observational program started in 1984 on small asteroids (diameter smaller than bout 50 km), we present the results of photometric observations performed with a 1-m telescope at the European Southern Observatory (ESO). A total of 56 single-night lightcurves for 16 asteroids were obtained. All the objects were observed for the first time and the rotational periods have been determined for 11. For 655 Briseis, 823 Sisigambis, 847 Agnia, 1591 Baize, and 3237 Victorplatt the complete rotational phase was not covered and in some cases only an indication of the rotational period has been possible.
