SUMMARY
Collaboratively edited local-history wiki for the city of Dresden (no individual byline; page footer records a last-modified date of 1 February 2015, fetched and quote-verified 2026-07-08). Used only for points not resting on it alone: the sanatorium's founding as the Physiatrisches Sanatorium on 1 January 1888 with 10 initial staff (corroborating Deutsche Biographie's 1887/1888 Dresden move); that Lahmann commissioned chemist Ragnar Berg to study mineral metabolism in his own chemical-physiological laboratory to support the blood-dyscrasia theory; and an explicit modern characterization of that theory as outdated, quoted verbatim in the grounding log's verify-quotes block: 'Dieser heute überholten Auffassung nach führt eine falsche Ernährung zu einer falschen Zusammensetzung des Blutes und damit zu einer falschen Zusammensetzung aller Körpergewebe' -- roughly, faulty nutrition leads to faulty blood composition and thus to faulty composition of all body tissue, by this now-outdated view.
NOTES
A municipal local-history wiki, used as a secondary source for corroborating detail and for its own explicit characterization of Lahmann’s core theory as scientifically outdated, not as the sole source for any contested biographical fact (life dates rest on the GND authority record and the Neue Deutsche Biographie).
