B. Stecklum, S. Klose, and U. Laux report:

We observed the field of GRB 190211A (Marshall et al., GCN 23883) with the 
Tautenburg Schmidt telescope equipped with the Taukam 6k x 6k CCD camera. 
Observations were performed under modest seeing conditions 3.5 hr after 
the burst.

In a 5-min exposure we detect the GRB afterglow (Xu et al., GCN 23884; Hu 
et al., GCN 23886; Heintz et al., GCN 23890; Oeda et al., GCN 23891; Peak 
et al., GCN 23893; Marshall et al., GCN 23894) with V=20.75 +/- 0.10 (Vega 
mag), calibrated against the nearby star NOMAD1 1319-0272410 which has 
V=14.89.
