The asteroids 136 Austria and 238 Hypatia were observed photoelectrically in UBV during four nights in Feb. 1981, using the 0.6 m Bochum telescope (ESO-time) at the European Southern Observatory, La Silla, Chile. For 136 Austria, a rotation period of P equals 11.5 + or 0.1 h (0.479 + or - 0.004 d) could be derived with a lightcurve partially observed and an amplitude of at least 0.40 mag. 238 Hypatia has a rotation period of P equals 8.9 + or - 0.1 h (0.371 + or - 0.004 d) and a lightcurve amplitude of 0.12 mag. For both asteroids UBV-colors were measured frequently and no variation during rotation was remarked, exceeding the scatter.
