Editorial summary

This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “Friedrich Erhard von Röder” as prussian officer (1768-1834). Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.

Editorial reviewA concise reference frame for defining the subject, testing terminology and identifying the institution closest to the evidence. The current lead gives the account dated anchors—1768, 1834, 1818, 1819—that can be checked directly. The linked authority record independently contributes the date 1768-01-24. The account is most persuasive where Friedrich, Erhard and Röder can be independently traced.
Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

The subject matters to the general reference register because the source frames it as prussian officer (1768-1834). Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.

Evidence profile

Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Dec 9, 2025. The linked authority identifier is Q1458990. VIAF identifies the subject as 86158273. 1 of 2 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1768, 1834, 1818 and 1819.

Critical limits

A concise general-reference account can conceal disagreements about scope, terminology or the weight assigned to individual sources. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.

How to read it

Use the entry as an orientation point, then follow its citations and revision history. Names, dates and institutional relationships should be checked against the original record.
