Johann Friedrich (Fritz) Heyn (born September 21, 1849 in Gabel near Tschirnau , † January 13, 1928 in Berlin) was a German entrepreneur and local politician.
Life
Fritz Heyn lived with his wife and 13 children in Pankow in Berlin , where he was as a producer of cane ( cane do business). He put the profits into the acquisition of real estate in Pankow, which he had parceled out and leased. Commercial yards were built on one of these areas according to his wishes. He used one of them to expand his chair tube production ( Fritz Heyn & Co. ). He also had a representative house built for himself and his family according to plans by the architect Ernst Fröhlich in the newly developed street and moved there in 1893. At the same time, he took care of the construction of rental houses for his workers, which were ready for occupancy by 1911 and are in the style of reform architecture .
For decades he was a member of the Pankow local council and was a local mayor . In 1907 he was awarded the Prussian Royal Order of the Crown, Fourth Class, for his services . The new traffic route between Florastraße and what was then Nordbahn was named in Heynstraße while he was still alive .
The house at Heynstrasse 8 including the furniture was completely preserved and became the seat of Chronik Pankow in the 1970s . Since the 2000s, his former apartment on the first floor has served as an exhibition space for the Panke Museum in the Pankow Museum Association . The commercial courtyards, which soon bore his name, have also been preserved and, after a few temporary uses, are used to settle artists, craftsmen and a restaurateur.
Fritz Heyn's former home, including the gardens, and the commercial yards are now under monument protection.
