Life
Heinze began at a very young age with ballet at the Dresden Court Opera. There she made it up to becoming a solo dancer. Her parents, who did not want her to become an actress, brought her to Teplitz in Bohemia. There she first stepped onto the stage in 1823 at the age of 14 in the Singspiel Preciosa by Carl Maria von Weber .
His marriage to the actor Seeberg (actually Freiherr von Palmstein), which began in 1824, did not last long. She then worked for various theater companies and played and sang in Teplitz, Zittau, Görlitz, Karlsbad and Altenburg (Thuringia) and had first successes, especially with roles from the soubrette subject .
In 1828 director Bethmann hired her to Leipzig. When he went to Magdeburg and then to Braunschweig, she followed him. In 1832 she was again in Leipzig, then in 1833 in Cologne and Aachen.
In Cologne she married the actor and tenor buffo Karl Brüning (1808–1879) for the second time . She was then committed to the Dresden Court Theater, then made guest appearances in Hamburg and Mannheim and then again to Hamburg, where her husband was engaged. In 1838 she was in Leipzig for the third time.
In 1837 she separated from her second husband and in 1843 married Kapellmeister Gustav Adolf Heinze (1820–1905) in third marriage ; since then she has appeared under his family name. She ended her career in 1849 and then lived with her husband near Amsterdam, where he worked as a composer and choir director. As Henriette Berg and Henriette Heinze-Berg, she wrote libretti for his operas and oratorios and translated Dutch literature into German. In 1883 they had the Villa Caecilia built in Muiderberg . A plaque on the house reminds of its first occupants.
