Discrepancy in Dates

edit

This article says that the Askania-Burgundia fraternity was founded in 1853 by Georg von Hertling, then a university student. However, Wikipedia's page for Hertling says that he was born in 1843. If so, he would have been only 10 years old in 1853. Either he was born earlier or the Askania-Burgundia was founded later, or Hertling was not a founding member. Since Hertling's year of birth is widely confirmed in other sources (see references in the Wikipedia article) , as is the founding date of the fraternity (see references in the Wikipedia article), I think the claim that Hertling was a founding member must be mistaken, unless he was an extraordinarily precocious student. 67.221.124.254 (talk) 18:17, 26 March 2018 (UTC)Reply
