Life

Heinebuch came from “small circumstances” and initially trained as a teacher by attending the Preparende in Winsen in 1854 and, from 1856, the teachers' seminar in Lüneburg. From 1861 to 1865 he attended the advanced seminar in Hanover. In 1865 he found his first job at the community school in Wittingen and changed from there to the daughter school in Lüneburg.

Since the age of 13 he received music lessons and trained as an organist and church musician, with Anger at the seminar in Lüneburg and Lahmeyer in Hanover being his role models and supporters. Heinebuch was organist at the churches of Uetersen (1868), Neumünster (1869), Gettorf (1873) and from 1879 at St. Marien in Flensburg.

In 1886 he was one of the founders of the Schleswig-Holstein Provincial Association for the Care of Church Music . He was (co-) editor of numerous melody and chorale books, especially for North Schleswig, which was conquered by Prussia. His main work is the divine service order for the Evangelical Lutheran Church of the Province of Schleswig-Holstein, musically edited by the lithurgical commission of the Provincial Association for the Care of Church Music from 1893. His favorite songs were determined by the 150 core songs of the German Evangelical Church Conference .
