He grew up with his grandparents in Bokensdorf and after finishing school he did an apprenticeship with a notary in Fallersleben . In 1906 he entered the military. He was a participant in the First World War . In Karlsruhe, he married his first wife Anne, who died of the Spanish flu in 1918 shortly after the birth of their only child .

In his second marriage he married Gertrud Mirke (1893–1981) at the end of 1921, with whom he had the son Günther. Both sons died before the outbreak of World War II : Heinz from an accident, Günther from meningitis at the age of 14 .

In Berlin, Schulze worked in the city administration from 1919. In 1932 he became head of the economic department, from 1934 as a magistrate. For several decades he was a lecturer at management seminars and the Berlin Administration Academy . During the Second World War, his task was to set up so-called “alternative hospitals” in order to relieve the normal Berlin hospitals as much as possible of the consequences of the war. After the end of the war, he quickly managed to reorganize the Berlin hospital administration and get it up and running.

At the suggestion of the Governing Mayor of Berlin Ernst Reuter , Heinrich Schulze was honored for his achievements on October 23, 1952 with the Federal Cross of Merit (Steckkreuz).
