In 1972 she was elected to the district executive committee of the SPD in the Segeberg district. In 1978 she became chairwoman of the working group of social democratic women in the Segeberg district. From 1979 to 1983 she was a member of the state executive committee of the SPD in Schleswig-Holstein. Heyenn resigned from the SPD in 1999 to protest against Gerhard Schröder's policies .

In 2005 she participated in the founding of the WASG . When it merged with the PDS , it became part of Die Linke in 2007 . In June 2012, she ran for leadership of her party. She was defeated by Katja Kipping with 29.3% of the votes cast .

She also resigned from the party in November 2015, nine months after she announced she was leaving the left-wing faction.

MPs

November 7, 1990, when they for Ulrich Meyenborg nachrückte until 1992 was Heyenn deputies in the parliament of Schleswig-Holstein . In the state elections in Hamburg in 2008 , she was the top candidate for the DIE LINKE party and won 6.4% of the Hamburg citizenship .

In the 2011 election , Heyenn was again the top candidate of the DIE LINKE party and again achieved 6.4%. From March 2008 to March 2, 2015 she was parliamentary group leader of the parliamentary group DIE LINKE in the Hamburg citizenship.

In the 2015 state elections , she led the Left again as the top candidate with an improved result back into the state. She received 27,591 direct votes - more than twice as many as Cansu Özdemir  (12,794) and considerably more than Sabine Boeddinghaus  (6097). Since the state executive spoke out in favor of the formation of a dual leadership in the parliamentary group after the election and only five of the eleven parliamentarians approved it, she decided not to run again for chairman of the parliamentary group and resigned from the left-wing parliamentary group. Özdemir and Boeddinghaus were subsequently elected to the top of the group. After resigning from the parliamentary group, Heyenn also left DIE LINKE in November 2015. Since then she has been a non- partisan and non-attached member of the citizenship.
