Born as the son of the businessman Felix Heine (1871–1931) and his wife Helene, b. Koller (1882–1932) and grandson of the SPD- Reichstag deputy August Heine , he attended the Martini-Gymnasium in Halberstadt, which he left after secondary school to do a commercial education. After his father's death in 1931, he took over his parents' hat business and expanded it to include a shipping department.

After serving as a soldier in France and Italy from 1940 to 1945 , he returned to his hometown, which was destroyed on April 8, 1945, and became politically active. As a member of the LDP , he was a member of the state parliament in Saxony-Anhalt in the legislative period from 1946 to 1950 and had to resign from his mandate in 1950.

In May 1953 he left Halberstadt with his family and moved to Karlsruhe, where he continued his father's company, Felix Heine, as a mail order company, which was merged with his brother's company, the mail order company Heinrich Heine , in 1971.
