here it says Hans-Georg Gadamer is here. I'm coming to Heidelberg so I want to see him. Where is this graveyard located?
Thanks!

In Heidelberg-Ziegelhausen.

Small problem: there are 2 cemeteries there. An old one (still in use) and a new one. And I even couldn't find in which of both his grave is.

If it is so difficult to locate the gravesite I would contact the city's administration. Normally, the Birth, Deaths and Marriages office (Standesamt), should be able to answer your question.

So I would look here first thing:

There is also an email on the website:
