Claim
Hans-Christian Pape (seit 2018).
Correction

This is outdated. Hans-Christian Pape became president in 2018, but Robert Schlögl has been President of the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation since 1 January 2023.

Full reasoning

The claim says Hans-Christian Pape has been President of the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation "since 2018." That is no longer correct.

The Alexander von Humboldt Foundation's official history states that Hans-Christian Pape became the seventh President in 2018, and that Robert Schlögl became the eighth President in 2023. The Foundation's current "The President" page likewise says: "On 1 January 2023, the chemist Robert Schlögl became the President of the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation."

So the article's "seit 2018" claim is outdated and incorrect as of 2026.

Claim
Mit Euler: Konsequenzen aus der Diracschen Theorie des Positrons. 1936
Correction

The German title is wrong. Heisenberg and Euler's 1936 paper is titled "Folgerungen aus der Diracschen Theorie des Positrons," not "Konsequenzen..."

Full reasoning

This publication entry misstates the original German title of Heisenberg and Euler's 1936 paper.

The arXiv record for the English translation is titled "Consequences of Dirac Theory of the Positron", but it explicitly says this is a translation of the historic paper "Folgerungen aus der Diracschen Theorie des Positrons". Independent bibliographic records likewise list the German original under "Folgerungen ..." rather than "Konsequenzen ...".

So the article's German bibliographic entry is incorrect: the original title was "Folgerungen aus der Diracschen Theorie des Positrons".

Claim
Über quantenmechanische Kinematik und Mechanik.
Correction

The title is misstated. Heisenberg's 1926 Mathematische Annalen paper is titled "Über quantentheoretische Kinematik und Mechanik," not "Über quantenmechanische Kinematik und Mechanik."

Full reasoning

This bibliography entry gives the title of Heisenberg's 1926 paper incorrectly.

The European Digital Mathematics Library entry for the Mathematische Annalen paper lists the title as "Über quantentheoretische Kinematik und Mechanik". The American Institute of Physics' Heisenberg bibliography also cites "Über quantentheoretische Kinematik und Mechanik."

So the word "quantenmechanische" in the article is a bibliographic error here; the original title was "quantentheoretische".
