Other places tied to Carl Friedrich von Weizsäcker in the record
In each of these, a source puts Carl Friedrich von Weizsäcker and the place in the same dated sentence without stating
that Carl Friedrich von Weizsäcker 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.

Copenhagenmentioned“Ivan Supek (one of Heisenberg's students and friends) claimed that Weizsäcker was the main figure behind the famous and controversial Heisenberg–Bohr meeting in Copenhagen in September 1941.”source: Wikipedia: Carl Friedrich von Weizsäcker

São Paulomentioned“In 1952, he became the first director of the IFT (Institute of Theoretical Physics) in São Paulo which would later become part of UNESP.”source: Wikipedia: Carl Friedrich von Weizsäcker
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.
