Individual evidence

  1. ↑ On the date of birth - see discussion page. Tobias Hempel died on October 20th on the date of death according to the Genealogical Handbook of Bürgerlicher Familien (GHBF), Volume 20. According to several other sources, however, he died on October 29, 1820, see also JH Bergmann: Jahrbuch der Zeitgeschichte , Leipzig 1820, p. 478 ( digitized version ) and CD Beck (ed.): General repertory of the latest domestic and foreign literature for 1820 , Leipzig 1820, p. 222 ( digitized version ). It is likely that the days of birth and death in the GHBF were swapped.
