May 12, 2016 at 14:55	comment	added	Gerald Edgar		I read the link to say that the quote is in the Jahresbericht for 1886, and the translation is by Weber for the obituary in 1893. To tell for sure we need someone whose library has Jahresbericht 1886. (I doubt it has been digitized for the Internet.)

The link you provided states clearly that this is a claim by Weber which Weber attributes to Kronecker. There is no published text by Kronecker himself making such a statement, and with good reason: Kronecker is not likely to have subscribed to it.
