Kundt is a small, bowl-shaped lunar impact crater in the northern section of the Mare Nubium. It was named after the German physicist August Kundt.[1] Prior to that it was designated Guericke C. It has a raised rim and is not significantly worn due to impact erosion. This crater lies part way between Guericke to the west and Davy in the east.
