life and work

Manfred Heintze spent his childhood with two siblings in Liebertwolkwitz near Leipzig. His father, Kurt Heintze, was an industrial businessman, his mother Martha Heintze, nee.

From 1953 to 1956 he studied art / email at the University of Applied Arts in Heiligendamm . In 1956 he passed the master's examination in goldsmithing in Rostock and successfully applied to study at the Institute for Artistic Work Design Burg Giebichenstein in Halle (today Burg Giebichenstein Art College Halle ).

From September 10, 1956, he began studying metal design with Karl Müller and in 1960 switched to technical design with Werner Laux . At the Institute for Design and Development, which was part of the technical design department, he graduated in 1961 as the first graduate of this course with a diploma as an industrial designer. This was followed by a one-year traineeship at the Institute for Design and Development at this university.

From 1962 to 1984 he was married to the jewelry designer Renate Heintze (née Bürg). Their daughter Lisa was born in 1964 and their daughter Anna in 1967.

From 1962 he worked as an artistic and scientific assistant at the Institute for Technical Design in Halle. Briefly appointed as acting head, at the end of 1964 he took over the management of the research and development sector of this institute.
