Source-derived summary

Her book series Die Erben der Nacht was adapted to television as Heirs of the Night by Diederik van Rooijen and Maria von Heland.

Editorial summary

The public source identifies “Ulrike Schweikert” as german author. This brief keeps that definition visible, then builds a research path around Ulrike, Schweikert and German.

Editorial reviewA productive starting point for separating a subject’s documented career from later reputation and commemoration. The current lead gives the account dated anchors—1966—that can be checked directly. The authority record carries competing date values—1966, 1966-11-28—which should remain separate until their references and qualifiers are resolved. Its value is orientation rather than verdict, with Ulrike, Schweikert and German providing the first useful test.
Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

A short description can identify a subject without explaining its stakes. For “Ulrike Schweikert”, the useful work is to connect “german author” to the records capable of establishing context and consequence.

Evidence profile

Chronology provides the most reliable spine for this subject; interpretation should follow only after identities and dates are secure. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jan 18, 2020. The linked authority identifier is Q76296. VIAF identifies the subject as 85124077. The Library of Congress control number is n2005021909. 4 of 5 selected statements include explicit references; 2 carry qualifiers and 1 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1966.

Critical limits

Public reputation and documentary evidence do not always develop together; absence from a summary is not evidence of historical absence. 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
