From 1857 he studied history at the History Department of the University of Vienna under Joseph Aschbach and from 1861 at the Institute for Austrian Historical Research under Albert Jäger and Theodor von Sickel . He also studied classical philology with Hermann Bonitz and Johannes Vahlen, as well as economics . In 1862 he became a doctor of philosophy doctorate . In the following year he completed his habilitation in general history at the University of Vienna, where he became a private lecturer . In 1864 he became associate professor of general and Austrian history at the University of Lemberg and a year later there full professor and head of the history seminar. He learned the Polish language and worked on Polish history. In 1871 he followed a call as professor of general history at the University of Innsbruck .

Zeißberg dealt with the history of the Slavic peoples, especially with the Polish historiography . His volume of the Societas Jablonoviana from 1873 on Polish historiography, which appeared in the price publications , became a basic work for Georg Voigt when he presented in detail the historiography of Polish humanism in the editing of the 2nd and 3rd editions of his work on Italian humanism. As secretary of the Societas, Voigt had significantly promoted the appearance of this work. Later Zeißberg worked on Austrian history and was editor of the monumental Kronprinzenwerkes (24 volumes, 1886–1902).

He became the history teacher of Crown Prince Rudolf and, with the title of government councilor, was a member of the kk Central Commission for Research and Conservation of Art and Historical Monuments in Vienna. In 1896 he was appointed real councilor .

Heinrich Zeißberg was married to Wilhelmine Zeißberg and had a daughter.
