Max Heidrich was the son of a master baker. After completing elementary school , he did an apprenticeship as a carpenter; After attending the trade schools in Dresden and Berlin , he worked as an assistant, draftsman or operations manager in Stuttgart, Munich, Passau, Vienna, Salzburg, Lucerne and Bern. There he became an employee of the Caspar Märki furniture factory. From 1901 he studied successfully at the crafts and arts and crafts school in Bern . In 1902 he became works manager of the Wilhelm Seyffer furniture factory in Backnang near Stuttgart and founded a family with Veronika Rau. Their four children became architects like their father.

After winning a competition, Heidrich was an employee from 1905 to 1928, and from 1910 head interior designer at Werkstätten Bernhard Stadler AG for all of the home furnishings in Paderborn. The joinery manufactured furniture in series for department stores in large cities, employed over 100 people and trained apprentices in its company school. The furnishings of residential buildings by the Bernhard Stadler workshops based on designs by Heidrich have received numerous awards, for example at the 1913 International Building Exhibition in Leipzig and published in well-known magazines. At the Cologne Werkbund exhibition in 1914, Max Heidrich and the Bernhard Stadler workshops became internationally known with the collapsible "Bernhard Stadler Paderborn summer house" in prefabricated wood construction based on the patent of Siebels Holzhaus- und Barackenbau (Düsseldorf-Rath), including the furnishings and fittings in the eleven rooms. In 1916 Heidrich designed the Villa Becker with garden for the cloth manufacturer Bernhard Becker on the outskirts of Kreuzweingarten .

After the Bernhard Stadler workshops went down in a major fire in 1928, Heidrich went into business for himself as an architect. As a supporter of New Building , he built residential buildings, functional buildings (Sennewasserwerk), department stores (clothing store Klingenthal), buildings on Marienstraße in Paderborn's old town such as cultural buildings (Residenztheater Paderborn) in and around Paderborn; he was a trusted architect and head of the Kreisheimstätten plant. Since 1931 he was a member of the NSDAP . Max Heidrich died on June 24, 1945, after many of his buildings and furniture were destroyed by the air raids on Paderborn .
