Editorial summary

“Sankt Florian am Inn” enters the record as municipality in Schärding District, Upper Austria, Austria. Crown Archives preserves that source wording while asking what Sankt, Florian and municipality can confirm, complicate or overturn.

Editorial reviewA valuable geographic starting point for tracing changing names, boundaries, uses and administrative responsibility. The current 39-word lead offers orientation but no explicit four-digit date, so chronology should not be assumed. The selected authority fields contribute no independent date. Its strongest next move is a source search built around Sankt, Florian and municipality.
Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

“Sankt Florian am Inn” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, Sankt, Florian and municipality provides the most credible route into that argument.

Evidence profile

The strongest evidence will usually combine a dated visual record with documents produced by the authority responsible for the place. The source revision retrieved here is dated Apr 10, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q670240. VIAF identifies the subject as 235697083. Authority coordinates are 48.441, 13.441. 3 of 4 selected statements include explicit references; 1 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank.

Critical limits

Modern boundaries and familiar names can conceal earlier jurisdictions or structures that do not align with the present site. 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

Treat names, boundaries and functions as historically changeable. Maps, plans, inventories and administrative records can clarify what the place meant at different dates.
