Deciphering 1944 German Map coordinates

Just wondering if anyone can help us identify this cemetery from the information provided by the CWGC, we have found Map K52 covers the Dusseldorf area but we have struggled with the coordinate translator, and are now wondering if we are missing a digit…any help gratefully received!
Dahl Protestant Cemetery’, Germany, map reference 1/250.000 K 52 A 80 Pl 0 , many thanks Di

The Hagen option would be perfect, just want to be 100% sure, too worried we may be wishing for it to be without factual proof, thanks for the suggestions though, Di

This is a list of the Düsseldorf Cemeteries https://www.duesseldorf.de/stadtgruen/friedhof/

I’ve found no Cemetery at a location DAHL in or near Düsseldorf…

Maybe long shots – there is only a Cemetery in HAGEN called Cemetery (Friedhof) DAHL, Ribbertstraße, 58091 Hagen (70 km distance to Düsseldorf),
or Cemetery RHEINDAHLEN, Hardter Str. 400, 41179 Mönchengladbach (39 km distance to Düsseldorf)

Might be worth an enquiry to the German Postal Service.
