Why this record matters
The subject matters to the people & ideas register because the source frames it as austrian author (1929–2023). Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.
Biographical claims are most persuasive when dates, appointments and relationships can be traced to records created close to the events described. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 4, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q1659217. VIAF identifies the subject as 29706137. The Library of Congress control number is n87906297. 3 of 4 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank.

A concise life account rarely captures disputed attribution, private networks or the changing language used to describe a career. 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.
