Live and act

The son of the paper manufacturer Louis Beda in Lastau completed an apprenticeship as a paper technician. He was the technical manager of the Holzstoff- und Papierfabriken AG in Niederschlema , in which Gustav Rostosky was the commercial director. In July 1897, together with the businessman Franz Louis Fiedler from Colditz, he founded the Beda & Fiedler paper mill in Wurzen. Fiedler left the company in 1900, so that Beda became the sole owner of the factory, now trading as Heinrich Beda . After his two sons Ferdinand Louis Heinrich and Johannes Gerhard joined the company as partners in July 1918, Beda withdrew completely from the business in March 1922.

Bede was politically active in the National Liberal Party . From 1907 to 1913 he was a city councilor and then a city councilor in his home town of Wurzen until the end of 1919. From 1909 to 1918 he represented the 8th urban constituency in the second chamber of the Saxon state parliament . In the initial phase of the Weimar Republic he was still a member of the Saxon People's Chamber for the German Democratic Party (DDP) , but resigned his mandate on January 7, 1920 due to illness.
