Live and act

Friedrich Heinzerling was a son of Johann Georg Heinzerling († 1843), district judge in Grossen-Buseck, and his wife Johannette Amalie Heinzerling nee. Sell (* 1797). His brother was the Darmstadt judge and professor at the Darmstadt Polytechnic Wilhelm Heinzerling . After graduating from high school in 1842, he studied natural sciences , architecture and engineering at the Berlin Bauakademie and Ludwigs-Universität Gießen and passed his faculty examination in construction in 1848 and the general state examination in technical subjects in 1850 . He then specialized in particular in bridge construction .

From his time in Giessen there is also a series of drawings of Giessen views, engraved in steel by Johann Jakob Tanner and published in 1853 with an accompanying text by Johann Philipp Dieffenbach .

After graduating, he was initially involved in the bridge and building construction of the Main-Weser Railway until 1856 and then as construction manager of the Ingelheim-Bingen section of the railway line on the left bank of the Rhine . In 1860 he followed a call as a teacher for engineering subjects at the Darmstadt vocational school , before he accepted a professorship for civil engineering and engineering at the University of Gießen from 1864 after his habilitation . Finally, on July 7, 1870, Heinzerling moved to RWTH Aachen University, where he was appointed full professor for bridge construction and higher building structures . He stayed here until his retirement in 1905 and in the meantime, as the successor to Gustav Friedrich Herrmann, also headed the RWTH from 1892 to 1895 as its rector. He was (Royal Prussian) with the title of secret Governing excellent.

In Aachen, Heinzerling was co-founder and chairman of the Aachen Trade Association and the Building Technology Association in Aachen, and in 1880 the initiator of the construction of the swimming pool on Adalbertsteinweg, today's Aachen East Hall.

Due to these projects, among other things, a street in Aachen was named posthumously after him in 1909, although it was renamed Geschwister-Scholl-Strasse in 1969.
