Where is Heinrich Martin Weber's grave located?

Upvote:4

It appears that Heinrich Weber's grave is no longer extant. The city archives of Strasbourg provide an online archive of burial records that include those from the year 1913. We find Weber in the list of burials for the Cimetière Saint-Louis, Strasbourg, protestant section, 1893-1957, p. 80 (p. 83 of the scan):

Entry No. 1818. Weber Heinrich Prof. Age 70. Address: Taulerring 33. Date of death: May 17. Date of burial: May 19. Location of grave: division 2, row 3, grave no. 15. Lease expiration: September 30, 1968

The personal data from the entry agrees (with exception of the age of the deceased) with a death notice for Heinrich Weber published in a local newspaper: Straßburger Post, Sunday, May 18, 1913, No. 554, morning edition / second sheet:

This tells us that Heinrich Weber died from a stroke at 6am on May 17 (Saturday), and that his funeral was set for May 19 (Monday), with funeral proceedings starting at 3pm at his residence at Taulerring 33 (today: 33 Boulevard Tauler).
