Life

After compulsory school, Anton Heinzl learned the trade of bricklayer, from 1974 to 1982 he was a construction technician at the St. Pölten municipal authority. In his youth he was a functionary in the Socialist Youth. In 1982 he began his political career as a local councilor in St. Pölten and as district manager of the SPÖ St. Pölten. In 1992 he became a city councilor. In 1998 he succeeded Heidemaria Onodi as a member of the National Council. After he became district chairman in January 2003, he resigned his position as district manager and was succeeded by Robert Laimer .

His political style is considered very aggressive, he has a reputation for not avoiding any confrontation inside or outside the party, which is why he has already been sued repeatedly, and he in turn sued other politicians several times. He and Hans Jörg Schelling have already sued each other several times. Since 1995 he has also been chairman of the ARBÖ St. Pölten. In the course of the election campaign for the 2006 National Council election, he was accused on an ÖVP leaflet by Alfred Brader of being involved in the ARBÖ scandal. Heinzl then sued him, and Brader has already been convicted of damage to reputation in the first and second instance. Furthermore, Heinzl sued the ÖVP regional manager Gerhard Karner for the statement in a NÖN interview "Types like Heinzl have enriched themselves at the ARBÖ". Karner was sentenced by the St. Pölten Regional Court to omission, revocation and reimbursement of costs, but went into appeal but also lost there.

For many years he was president of the SC Harland football club, where the former national player Frenk Schinkels also played in 2005, and his son now holds this position.
