Lukas Johrendt
This personnel entry is outdated: the foundation’s official website identifies Georg Breitfeld as the current Studieninspektor.
Full reasoning
The article names Lukas Johrendt as the current Studieninspektor. The Stiftung Johanneum’s own current website contradicts that. Both the homepage and the contact page identify Georg Breitfeld as Studieninspektor.
Relevant text from the official site includes:
- Homepage: “Georg Breitfeld Studieninspektor”
- Contact page: “Georg Breitfeld Studieninspektor”
Because the organization’s official pages list a different person in that role, the Wikipedia entry’s current personnel information is outdated and incorrect.

Momentan leben 30 Konviktuale im Johanneum
The current resident count on the foundation’s official website is 31, not 30.
Full reasoning
This sentence gives a present-tense resident count of 30. The foundation’s official homepage states a different current number: “Bei uns leben 31 Studierende verschiedener Religionen unter einem Dach”. Since the organization itself currently reports 31 residents/students, the article’s statement that 30 people currently live there is outdated.
This is also internally inconsistent with the same Wikipedia page’s infobox, which lists “Bewohner (ges.) 31”.

Torsten Meireis (seit 2018)
This is outdated: the foundation’s official site now names Prof. Dr. Christine Gerber, not Torsten Meireis, as the current Ephora.
Full reasoning
The claim says Torsten Meireis has been the current head of the foundation (“Ephorus”) since 2018. The Stiftung Johanneum’s current official contact page contradicts that: it identifies Prof. Dr. Christine Gerber as “Ephora” and lists Prof. Dr. Torsten Meireis separately only as “Dekan Theologische Fakultät” among the board members. That means the Wikipedia entry’s statement that Meireis is still the current Ephorus is no longer accurate.
Relevant text from the foundation’s official page:
- “Prof. Dr. Christine Gerber – Ephora”
- “Prof. Dr. Torsten Meireis (Dekan Theologische Fakultät)”

Bereits im Jahre 1789 wurde er Domherr im Breslauer Hochstift
The date is wrong. Authoritative biographical sources place Sedlnitzky’s Breslau canonry in 1798, not 1789.
Full reasoning
This sentence dates Leopold von Sedlnitzky’s appointment as a canon in Breslau to 1789. The Deutsche Biographie entry for Sedlnitzky contradicts that and gives 1798 instead: “erhielt S. Kanonikate in Breslau (1798)”. The same entry’s longer historical text also says he was 11 years old when his father obtained the canonry for him and that he was installed on 25 August 1798. Since Sedlnitzky was born in 1787, the article’s year 1789 is incorrect by nine years.

Am 12. Mai 1871 spendete Sedlnitzky zudem 36.000 Taler
As written, this is impossible: Leopold von Sedlnitzky died on March 25, 1871, so he could not personally donate money on May 12, 1871.
Full reasoning
The article states that Sedlnitzky personally donated 36,000 talers on 12 May 1871. But authoritative biographical sources record that Leopold von Sedlnitzky died earlier, on 25 March 1871 in Berlin. A person cannot personally make a donation on a date that falls after his death. So at minimum the date or the wording is wrong; as written, the claim is factually impossible.
The contradiction is direct:
- Wikipedia claim: donation by Sedlnitzky on 12 May 1871
- Deutsche Biographie: Sedlnitzky died 25 March 1871
