@Nemo, Apper: Do you think you could import that data into the wd-repo AND
make use of it via an inclusion template? In the past there was some
animosity against importing data without their sources, but if it is data
that is being used and displayed on Wikipedia, then I guess it would be
regarded differently. Anyhow, these kinds of discussions are better on-wiki.

The german dates have to be parsed, and I think the

persons is the main problem ("born 5th of July 1716 or 15th of July 1718",

accurate information, which could be imported to Wikidata.
For this kinds of situation you have the "before" and "after" of the
time
datatype:

The problem is that it is not visible yet...
