DDR-Oberliga
At SC Lok a new storm position had to be filled, as the previous attacking regular Günter Behne was out due to a protracted injury. Coach Alfred Kunze first used Heydenreich on August 21, 1960 in the cup quarter-final against SC Motor Jena (0-2) as a center forward. A week later, the 18-year-old Heydenreich made his debut in the league. In the match of the 15th matchday SC Lok - SC Empor Rostock (3-0) he was a half-left striker in the team and justified his commitment with the third goal for the Leipzig team. Heydenreich was only missing twice in the remaining eleven point games, but did not score any more goals. The following season ran over 39 rounds due to the calendar change to the summer-spring rhythm, but Heydenreich only played for SC Lok Leipzig until the ninth matchday. In these encounters he was mainly used as a left winger. After his last assignment on May 7, 1961 in the game SC Lok - SC Dynamo Berlin (0: 3), he fled to West Berlin with his parents. By then he had played 18 league games with four goals and one cup game for SC Lok Leipzig. He was also used in the three trade fair cup games of the Leipzig city selection in 1960 , where he contributed a goal in the 5-2 victory over Belgrade on September 11.

After his escape, Heydenreich initially joined the West Berlin Spandauer SV , but could not be called up because the GDR football association had enforced a one-year ban for unauthorized association changes. In 1962 he continued his medical studies in Cologne and joined Bayer 04 Leverkusen after his suspension had expired. In the 1962/63 season he played for Bayer 04 as a striker in 23 of the 30 league games in the Oberliga West, in which he scored seven goals. Since Leverkusen had missed qualifying for the newly created Bundesliga as ninth in the table , Heydenreich played in the Regionalliga West from 1963/64 . In the season 1963/64 he was with 33 appearances in 38 point games, now playing in midfield, regular player of the Leverkusen and with eleven goals behind Hans-Otto Peters (20) second best scorer at Bayer. In 1964/65 Heydenreich only played the 1st (one goal) and the 18th match game because of his studies, after which he ended his career as a football player in the high-performance area. As an amateur player, he stayed with Bayer 04 until 1970.
