Claim
Lukas Johrendt
Correction

The page's current Studieninspektor is not Lukas Johrendt. The foundation's official website now names Georg Breitfeld as Studieninspektor.

Full reasoning

The article identifies Lukas Johrendt as the current Studieninspektor. However, the foundation's own current website lists Georg Breitfeld in that role.

On the official homepage, the contact section states: "Georg Breitfeld Studieninspektor". The dedicated contact page repeats the same information and again labels Georg Breitfeld as Studieninspektor.

Because the foundation itself now publishes a different person in that office, the claim that the Studieninspektor is Lukas Johrendt is outdated and factually incorrect.

Claim
Torsten Meireis
Correction

Torsten Meireis is not the current Ephorus/Ephora. The foundation's official contact page lists Prof. Dr. Christine Gerber as Ephora, while Torsten Meireis is listed separately as dean and a Kuratorium member.

Full reasoning

In the infobox, the article presents Torsten Meireis as the current Ephorus. The foundation's official contact page contradicts that.

The official contact page names Prof. Dr. Christine Gerber as Ephora and Prof. Dr. Judith Becker as Stellvertretende Ephora. On the same page, Prof. Dr. Torsten Meireis appears in a different role: "Dekan Theologische Fakultät" and member of the Kuratorium.

So Torsten Meireis is not the current head of the foundation in the role identified here; the current officeholder published by the foundation is Christine Gerber.

Claim
Momentan leben 30 Konviktuale im Johanneum
Correction

The current resident count is not 30. The foundation's official homepage says 31 students live there.

Full reasoning

The sentence says that 30 residents currently live in the Johanneum. The foundation's own current homepage says otherwise.

On the official website, the homepage states: "Bei uns leben 31 Studierende verschiedener Religionen unter einem Dach". That is the foundation's current published resident count.

Because the article uses the time-sensitive word "Momentan" but gives a number that differs from the foundation's own current figure, this statement is factually incorrect today.

Claim
Die Bibliotheca Johannei umfasst rund 10.000 Bände.
Correction

The library is not described by the foundation as having around 10,000 volumes. The official site currently says it contains about 5,000 volumes.

Full reasoning

This sentence claims the Johanneum library has around 10,000 volumes. The foundation's own current description gives a much smaller figure.

On the official "Gemeinsam Leben" page, the foundation describes its library as follows: "Sie enthält etwa 5.000 Bände theologischer und philosophischer Werke".

That directly contradicts the article's claim of around 10,000 volumes. Since the foundation is the primary source for the current size of its library, the Wikipedia statement is inaccurate.

Claim
Bereits im Jahre 1789 wurde er Domherr im Breslauer Hochstift
Correction

This date is wrong. Authoritative biographical sources place Sedlnitzky's Breslau canonry in 1798, not 1789, and note he was only 11 years old at that time.

Full reasoning

The article says Sedlnitzky became a Domherr im Breslauer Hochstift already in 1789. Authoritative biographical sources do not support that date.

Deutsche Biographie states that Sedlnitzky, born in 1787, received a Kanonikat in Breslau in 1798 and was 1819 zum Domherrn in Breslau berufen. The same source's ADB text explains that he was 11 years old when his father obtained the Breslau canonry for him, and that this took place on 25 August 1798.

So the year 1789 is incorrect by nearly a decade. The reliable sources place the relevant Breslau canonry in 1798, with the later formal appointment as Domherr in 1819.

Claim
Am 12. Mai 1871 spendete Sedlnitzky zudem 36.000 Taler zum Bau eines evangelischen Konvikts in Breslau
Correction

This attribution is impossible as written: Sedlnitzky died on March 25, 1871, before May 12, 1871. A biographical source says he provided for the Breslau theological residence in his will, not by making a donation on that later date.

Full reasoning

The sentence says Sedlnitzky personally donated 36,000 Taler on 12 May 1871. That is chronologically impossible.

Authoritative biographical sources record that Sedlnitzky died on 25 March 1871 in Berlin. The Kulturstiftung biography further states that "In seinem Testament bedachte er das Breslauer evangelische Theologenkonvikt mit bedeutenden Mitteln".

So the later Breslau endowment is described in reliable biographical sources as a testamentary bequest, not as a personal donation made by Sedlnitzky on 12 May 1871, a date more than six weeks after his death.
