Located in Bethany Cemetery in Wittenberg.
On a 'unique stone' in this cemetery, find Herman & Julia. The final is located at:

AB = Herman's death year - birth year.
CD = Take Julia's birth year and death year, then add all the numbers individually together. Now subtract 1 from the total. (Example 1983 = 1+9+8+3 = 21-1 = 20.)

4. Solve the puzzle.
Using the information from Herman (1850-1916) and Julia's (1857-1944) listings, you can solve the puzzle.
CD = Take Julia's birth year and death year, then add all the digits individually together, and subtract 1 from the total. (Example 1983 = 1+9+8+3 = 21-1 = 20.)
5. Put together the solved coordinates.
AB = Herman's death year - birth year.
CD = Take Julia's birth year and death year, then add all the digits individually together, and subtract 1 from the total. (Example 1983 = 1+9+8+3 = 21-1 = 20.)
AB = 1916 - 1850 = 66
AB = 66
CD = (1 + 8 + 5 + 7 + 1 + 9 + 4 + 4) -1 = 38
CD = 38
N 44° 49.5AB and W 089° 10.5CD
