Life

Heinke grew up in Berlin until December 23, 1943 and, after his family's house had been bombed out, in the Hanseatic town of Seehausen in the Altmark , where he attended the Winckelmann High School and was involved in the young community . The latter led to the fact that he should be interned in a home high school . From 1951 to 1953 he trained as a typesetter in a small printing company. Heinke's father had meanwhile returned from captivity and, as a member of the Liberal Democratic Party of Germany (LDPD), had taken over the distribution of the Altmark edition of the “Liberal Democratic Newspaper” (LDZ), with Heinke helping as a newspaper deliverer and first for this newspaper wrote small reports from Seehausen. In the summer of 1953 he completed a traineeship at the LDZ and also became a member of the LDPD. Later he went to the "Zentralorgan der LDPD", the daily newspaper Der Morgen, back in his hometown Berlin and was the chief reporter there until 1991. Even before the last edition of “Des Morgens” on June 11, 1991, he switched to the local editorial office of the Tagesspiegel .
