Gustav Heinze was born as the son of the cottage owner Gottlieb Ernst Heinze (* 1842) and Johanne Auguste Caroline Rattke (1843–1912) in Benau, today Bieniów , in eastern Lower Lusatia. He learned his trade as an organ builder from 1889 to 1892 from Robert Uibe in Neuzelle . He then worked for Herrmann Stiller in Breslau and then went to the most important Central and East German organ builders of his time: to Friedrich Ladegast in Weißenfels , to Wilhelm Sauer in Frankfurt (Oder) , where he worked on the large organ of the Kaiser Wilhelm Memorial Church in 1894 worked in Charlottenburg, to Wilhelm Rühlmann in Zörbig and after military service to Schlag & Söhne in Schweidnitz in Silesia. There he married Maria Ida Hedwig Kayser in 1901.

In 1904 he founded the Gustav Heinze Orgelbau-Anstalt Sorau N.-L at Auenstraße 36. A branch was opened in Weißenfels at today's Beuditzstraße 40, while his teacher Friedrich Ladegast was still alive (1904 / 05–1909?). He founded another branch in Kolberg (today Kołobrzeg) in Pomerania, which was managed by one of his sons.

Gustav Heinze soon became a productive organ builder who also delivered to Silesia and the Mark Brandenburg region and competed with the important company Schlag & Söhne. At times he had 30 employees.

From around 1939 he had to make the workshops of the armaments company Focke-Wulf available. In 1945 the Sorau family had to leave; the wife was killed in March. Gustav Heinze spent the last months in Rudolstadt in Thuringia.
