(Maybe someone could add this to

comes up every now and then, which is no surprise since not everyone
understands "Flughafen".)

"Departure/arrival" refer to the _time_ you enter, so you can say
"show me trains which _depart_ round $time" or "which _arrive_ around
$time".
In your case, where you know when you arrive at the airport and don't
care about the arrival in Heidelberg select "departure".
(Not that it's important, you can always search for earlier/later
trains in the search result list.)

That's typical that European train company websites ask the same
stuff several times. Just enter the same :)
For the return trip you could also set the "arrival" time at the
airport e.g.
