The grave of Fritz Hauser is located in the east of the cemetery Hörnli near Basel.
There is a statue of a man; I don't think it depicts Hauser, it is a statue of an anonymous working man. A vertical plate just states name, academic title, dates and some of the political offices he occupied:
"Fritz Hauser
Dr. phil.
Regierungsrat
Nationalrat
1884-1941"
