Cemeteries
For German gravesites, it is quite common that after a specific period of time, the graves are reused for others and the previously interred person's remains and gravestone are removed. If you know an ancestors' burial place and the grave has been vacated, the local administration (Bürgerservice, Friedhofsverwaltung) usually has a record of an ancestor's grave.[3]
