held it for 18 months
Correction

Sources on Postel’s Zschadraß tenure place it from November 15, 1995 to July 10, 1997—about 20 months, not 18.

Full reasoning

A primary-source court document about the case states that Postel was hired for the Zschadraß post effective 15 November 1995 and was suspended on 10 July 1997. That span is about 19 months and 25 days—roughly 20 months, not 18.

This matches contemporaneous press coverage: Berliner Zeitung reported, "Vom 15. November 1995 bis zum 10. Juli 1997 hat Postel ... gearbeitet," and taz later summarized that he "hielt sich 20 Monate als Oberarzt" in Zschadraß.

So the article’s wording understates the duration of his tenure by about two months.

1 November 1995
Correction

Court records and contemporaneous reporting give Postel’s start date in Zschadraß as November 15, 1995, not November 1.

Full reasoning

The start date in the infobox is off by two weeks.

A primary-source court document states that Postel was hired in Zschadraß "mit Wirkung vom 15.11.1995" (effective 15 November 1995). Contemporaneous reporting in Berliner Zeitung matches this, saying "Vom 15. November 1995 bis zum 10. Juli 1997" he worked there as an Oberarzt.

That directly contradicts the infobox’s 1 November 1995 start date.
