Quo Fuit places 3 dated presences for Ernst Haeckel across 3 places, from 1801 to 1859.
Each one keeps the sentence it was taken from and a link to its source.
Ernst Heinrich Philipp August Haeckel (16 February 1834 – 9 August 1919) was a German zoologist, naturalist, eugenicist, philosopher, physician, professor, marine biologist and artist.Wikipedia, full article · CC BY-SA
Every dot is a place Ernst Haeckel is documented in, on a dated record. The interactive globe carries the full detail.
Where Ernst Haeckel was documented, and when
1801 to 1858period
Berlinattested“He then studied medicine in Berlin and Würzburg, particularly with Albert von Kölliker, Franz Leydig, Rudolf Virchow (with whom he later worked briefly as assistant), and with the anatomist-physiologist Johannes Peter Müller (1801–1858).”source: Wikipedia: Ernst Haeckel
16 February 1834exact date
Potsdamattested“Ernst Haeckel was born on 16 February 1834, in Potsdam (then part of the Kingdom of Prussia).”source: Wikipedia: Ernst Haeckel
1859year

Open Quo Fuit to see these 3 presences on the
globe, filter them by date, and follow the journey year by year.
In each of these, a source puts Ernst Haeckel and the place in the same dated sentence without stating
that Ernst Haeckel 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.

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 Ernst Haeckel on a 3D globe, filter the record by date, and cross this life with another to find
