After attending grammar school in Nordhausen , Johann Heinrich Haeberlin began an apprenticeship in metallurgy , later switched to architecture and passed the surveyor's examination in 1822. In the same year Karl Friedrich Schinkel entrusted him with the construction management of the Antonin hunting lodge, which was completed in 1824, for Prince Anton Radziwiłł in the Przygodzice reign at that time and, from 1825 to 1826, with the construction of the Royal Main Customs Office in Skalmierschütz . Haeberlin joined the Berlin Architects' Association in 1827 and took part in monthly competitions with designs . His drawings from the years 1827 and 1830, for a garden hall and a belvedere, are kept like other designs in the architecture museum of the Technical University of Berlin . In 1834 he passed the master builder exam.

After the death of Prince Radziwiłł in 1833, Schinkel was commissioned to build a mausoleum not far from the hunting lodge, which was to serve as a burial place for the Radziwiłł family and a chapel for the local population. From 1835 to 1838 Haeberlin supervised the construction of the brick mausoleum in the neo-Romanesque style and in 1835 drew a design for Schinkel for the new building of the library that was to be built behind the Berlin University .

In 1845 he entered the court service and took over the department of the court building inspector Ludwig Ferdinand Hesse in the Potsdam Palace Building Commission , who since 1843 has been responsible for maintenance work on the city ​​palace , the wash house with outbuildings, the poultry fattening, the marble palace , the buildings in the New Garden , was responsible for the buildings on Pfaueninsel and at the Stern hunting lodge . One of his first tasks was the construction management of the cast glass dome of the palm house on the Pfaueninsel, which Hesse or Haeberlin had designed in the Indian style. His other tasks included the maintenance of the "Förster-Etablissements" designed by Ludwig Persius at the gates to the wildlife park and on a small hill in the middle, the Kellerberg, which the foresters used as their official residence.

Haeberlin stood out above all through the reconstruction of the Bornstedt Crown Estate , which burned down completely in 1846 except for part of the manor house. In the same year he designed an estate in the Italian country house style, which was completed in 1848, according to the specifications of Friedrich Wilhelm IV . A few years later, the old Bornstedter church opposite the crown property was demolished and replaced by a basilica with a columned arcade and a campanile from 1855 to 1856 based on a design by the architect Friedrich August Stüler . Haeberlin, who was appointed court building inspector in 1851 and court building councilor in 1858, took over construction management.

The Italianizing architectural style was also carried over to private houses in Potsdam, which were enough to beautify the city and the surrounding area [...] by providing the building enthusiasts with a contribution towards the construction costs . With this financial support from the Immediat -Baufond, which was subordinate to the royal cabinet, Friedrich Wilhelm IV was able to influence the architecture and design of the city. During this time, many houses were built in the Italian villa style, especially the so-called tower villas. Among them was the tower villa built around 1847 for the vaultsman Christian Gottlieb Wendorf in Mühlenbergweg, today Gregor-Mendel-Straße 4, and the tower villa built from 1847 to 1848 on the neighboring property for the valet and castellan Mathäus Paul Woytasch, Gregor-Mendel -Straße 3. In addition, Hesse entrusted him with the management of the renovation of the former bridge tenant house on the Behlertsbrücke, now Behlertstraße 32, which the steward Arnold Kurs moved into.

When Ludwig Ferdinand Hesse succeeded the blind Albert Dietrich Schadow in Berlin in March 1862 , Ferdinand von Arnim and Johann Heinrich Haeberlin took over his rapidly growing Potsdam building department as well as the administration of the court building depot.

Johann Heinrich Haeberlin died in Potsdam in 1866 and found his final resting place in the Bornstedter cemetery . Twenty years after him, his wife Emma Haeberlin, née Sintenis (1818–1886) was buried in the grave site. The son Franz Haeberlin , born in 1841, was later, like his father, also a court building officer in the Potsdam Palace Construction Commission.
