Correction history

  1. Evidence passEditorial confidence: Low → Medium. Re-rated after supporting references were added or re-checked.
  2. Evidence passYears: 1975–1985 → 1975–1976. ATF marking: the line quotes "1900-1975" with "76 Jahre" (1900 + 76 = 1976), so the issue year is 1975 or 1976; nothing supports a later end
