Act

Hildegard Heyne was the daughter of the government councilor of the Leipzig District Headquarters Viktor Alexander Heyne and his wife Helene, nee. Single. She attended the secondary girls' school and the language teacher seminar in Leipzig. She then studied art history with August Schmarsow at the University of Leipzig , but without a degree. From 1908 she worked as a research assistant at the Museum of Fine Arts in Leipzig. In addition, she taught art history at private schools and belonged to the Leipziger Kunstverein , for which she gave lectures. On the occasion of an exhibition of works by Max Klinger in July 1907, she published an introduction to his work and was in charge of the graphic collection. On 31 January 1920 she was at the University of Freiburg without there ever having studied with a dissertation on The Parable of the Ten Virgins at Joseph Sauer and Hans Jantzen Dr. phil. PhD . In the same year she was appointed curator of the museum . When the previous director of the Hermann Voss graphic collection moved to Berlin, she took over his position in January 1922. For the general encyclopedia of fine artists from antiquity to the present , she wrote articles for several volumes from 1920, but above all she was committed to the work of Max Klinger.

As curator of the Museum of Fine Arts, she was involved in the purchase of confiscated works of art from the property of the Heine family and the music publisher Henri Hinrichsen and his son Paul Hinrichsen (1912–1943) in 1939 . These included works by Fritz von Uhde and Max Klinger. The company of the art and antiques dealer Gustav Werner (1859–1945), which was commissioned with the appraisal and takeover of the works of art, was also supposed to sell works by Edvard Munch or Auguste Renoir , which were considered “degenerate art”, in Switzerland and monetized them for the foreign exchange office. In 1943 she retired.
