Well-known buildings are the Bundeswehr University in Munich-Neubiberg , the German Cancer Research Center , the Ludwigsburg University of Education, the Central Sports University for the Munich Olympic Games in 1972. He was significantly involved in five buildings that are now listed buildings: the Stuttgart TV tower , the state parliament of Baden-Württemberg , the Olympic Village in Munich , the Ludwigsburg University of Education and the Central University Sports Facility in Munich. Heinle was best known for the Stuttgart television tower planned and built together with the civil engineer Fritz Leonhardt , although Leonhardt was responsible for the design (and the structural draft). The Stuttgart television tower became the model for many subsequent tower projects. Heinle designed, among other things, the television towers in Mannheim , Nuremberg , Frankfurt and Cologne as well as a number of other telecommunications towers.

In addition to his practical work, Heinle became an assistant at the chair for design and building construction at the Technical University of Stuttgart one year after graduating. 1965 followed reputation at the State Academy of Fine Arts in Stuttgart , where he held until 1981 the Department of Building and longer time also led the interior design and furniture design department.
