Abstract: Heidegger’s conception of history of being outlines a very question-nable interpretation of western philosophy based on selected key no-tions connected with their respective authors. Within this conception several philosophers, who are considered to belong among the most influential, are not mentioned (e.g. Hobbes, Spinoza, Locke, and Marx etc.). The paper intends to discuss the missing position of Karl Marx, whose 200th birthday is remembered in 2018. May this be the occa-sion to present how Heidegger understands Marx, who is quite sur-prisingly largely present in Heidegger’s thought since the 1930’s right till the end of Heidegger’s life in 1976. Since Heidegger concei-ves Marx being the ‘greatest of the Hegelians’, his position within the history of being should be in the age of the ‘spirit’. But since Heide-gger also states, that Marx’s thought articulates the principles of our present age (being called the age of the ‘Gestell’), his position within the history of being is ambivalent at least. However, all of this high-lights the undeniable importance of Marx, even if it’s baffling, why he’s absent (or isn’t mentioned at least) from the history of being.
