In 1888 he exhibited for the first time at the Great Berlin Art Exhibition . From 1889 to 1905 Heinemann worked as a teacher at the teaching institute of the Berlin Museum of Applied Arts . Study trips took him to Paris (1891) and Rome (1892).

Heinemann lived in Berlin-Dahlem at Cecilienallee 4 around 1912. He was married to Alice Tonn († 1951), the daughter of a Rittmeister from Nakel . The two daughters Edit and Alix emerged from the marriage. The marriage was divorced in 1902.

Fritz Heinemann was the bearer of several orders, including the Red Eagle Order IV class. In 1897 he received a small gold medal at the Great Berlin Art Exhibition . At the world exhibition in St. Louis (1904) he won a bronze medal.

Services

Heinemann was one of those artists who set themselves apart from the neo-baroque style of Reinhold Begas and his students with a tectonic language of forms in the spirit of Adolf von Hildebrand . Some figures are close to the work of Auguste Rodin . His work covers almost the entire spectrum of sculptures: monuments, tombs, genre figures, busts and small bronzes.
