The stub as it stands has been copied directly from astronomy.com , so may I suggest a subtle rewording or haste in translating the German piece.--Xiphon 08:59, 27 September 2005 (UTC)

1916
Hoffmeister had to leave school in 1916 sounds a bit odd to me as Hoffmeister was 24 years old then. Either he had to repeat classes very often (unlikely) or this refers to a higher education like university. Can anybody clarify this? --Proofreader (talk) 14:08, 13 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Or rather second chance education (zweiter Bildungsweg), i.e. high school courses for adults. That indeed would be some sort of school but maybe should be made clearer to the reader if true. --Proofreader (talk) 14:14, 13 May 2010 (UTC)
