Heinze was the son of the rector Johann Michael and brother of Valentin August Heinze , a professor of philosophy in Kiel. Heinze acquired a doctorate in medicine in Jena in 1790 and was a private lecturer in obstetrics in Kiel from 1791. In 1795 he married Henriette von Blome auf Hagen (1775–1845). The couple initially lived on their Schwartenbeck estate near Kiel, where Heinze also ran a small doctor's practice. There the couple lost a child to smallpox in 1801 . In 1802, on behalf of the University of Kiel a . a. the teacher Peter Plett on his vaccination with the cowpox lymph from 1791. His report was immediately published by the university and by himself. Inspired by this, Heinze vaccinated in the spring of 1802 together with Pastor Dr. Johann Georg Schmidt in the Probstei free almost 1000 children with the cowpox lymph.

In 1802, Heinze acquired Gut Niendorf with a classicist mansion built by Johann Adam Soherr from 1761/63 and renovations from 1771 in what is now Moisling, a district of Lübeck that still exists today . In 1805 he was ennobled, received citizenship in Lübeck and became the last member of the circle society . After the reoccupation of Lübeck by French troops on July 3, 1813, he had to take over the post of provisional Maire on July 7, on the orders of Louis-Nicolas Davout , since the previous incumbent, Anton Diedrich Gütschow , was no longer in the city. During his term of office, the execution of the simple bonemaker Jürgen Paul Prahl by the French for “inciting rioting” fell. Heinze's petition for clemency to the French military governor was unsuccessful. On October 12, 1813, Heinze was arrested and taken hostage to Hamburg with a number of members of the municipal council and other citizens, where he was held until May 30, 1814. The official business was carried out during this time by his second deputy Friedrich Wilhelm Grabau , who informed him as much as possible in writing about the events in Lübeck.

When Heinzes returned to Lübeck, the French-style administration no longer existed, so that he did not have to take up the post of mayor again. Heinze retired to the provost at Hagen Castle . 1814-1815 he accompanied the Danish king to the Congress of Vienna as a royal Danish budget adviser . Sulpiz Boisserée noted a visit by Heinze on July 14, 1815 on his return journey from Vienna to the Palais Boisserée in Heidelberg to view the collection of the Boisserée brothers.

His noble estate Niendorf remained in the family's possession until it was sold to the Hanseatic City of Lübeck in 1907, since 1844 under Josias von Heinze as Fideikommiss Weißenrode . Heinze himself was buried in the manor's spacious park. The Christinental crypt is now only marked by a burial mound, which was separated from the rest of the manor's park in 1865 by the Lübeck-Hamburg line of the Lübeck-Büchener Railway .

One of the main works of the medieval sculptor Johannes Junge is the so-called Niendorfer Madonna in the St. Anne's Monastery in Lübeck , dated around 1420 , named after Heinzes Gut Niendorf, where it was found in a barn in the 1920s. It is said to have been there with three other sculptures since the beginning of the 19th century. It is believed that they could originally have been part of the furnishings of the Petrikirche .
