Quo Fuit places 4 dated presences for Beno Gutenberg across 4 places, from 1930.
Each one keeps the sentence it was taken from and a link to its source.

Open Quo Fuit to see these 4 presences on the
globe, filter them by date, and follow the journey year by year.
In each of these, a source puts Beno Gutenberg and the place in the same dated sentence without stating
that Beno Gutenberg was there. They are kept apart from the timeline above for exactly that reason:
a mention is not a presence, and Quo Fuit does not quietly promote one into the other.

University of Göttingenmentioned“He obtained his doctorate in physics from the University of Göttingen in 1911.”source: Wikipedia: Beno Gutenberg
1918year
University of Strasbourgmentioned“Gutenberg held positions at the University of Strasbourg, which he lost when Strasbourg became French in 1918.”source: Wikipedia: Beno Gutenberg

United Statesmentioned“Even if he had obtained a full professorship in Germany, he would have lost it in 1933 anyway like so many other scientists of Jewish ancestry, at least 30 of whom emigrated to the United States under Gutenberg's sponsorship.”source: Wikipedia: Beno Gutenberg
Two people documented in the same place in the same year is a correlation, not a meeting.
Quo Fuit will never say they met without a source that says so.
How to read this page
Every line above is a dated fact taken from a source, with the sentence it came from and a link
back to it. Nothing is inferred, and a gap in the record is not evidence that someone was elsewhere.
A tag says how the fact is carried by its source: documented a structured,
explicitly dated record, attested a sentence that states the person was there,
mentioned a sentence that ties the person to the place without stating presence.

See Beno Gutenberg on a 3D globe, filter the record by date, and cross this life with another to find
where the two overlap.
