Heinzel worked as a teacher and private tutor until 1868, as an editor at various newspapers from 1869 to 1880 and from then on devoted himself exclusively to writing and reading his own and foreign Silesian dialect poems, which made him very popular. Heinzel first published High German poems: "Aus Herzensgrund" (Breslau 1867), then the dialect poems: "Vägerle flieg 'aus" (Ratibor 1875; 2nd edition, Schweidn. 1896); "A schlä'sches Pukettel, Gereimtes und Unreimtes" (Bresl. 1879; 4th ed., Schweidn. 1901); "Ock ni trübetimplich", prose (Bresl. 1880; 5th edition, Schweidnitz 1904); "Mei youngest child", prose a. Poems (Bresl. 1883); “Traveling fellows.

Heinzel has placed himself at the side of the best Silesian dialect poets with his humor, intelligent understanding and excellent knowledge of the folk art.

monument

In May 1899, participants in the “poet school” initiated a collection to erect a memorial for Max Heinzel. On October 7, 1900, the poet was erected a bronze bust on a lavishly decorated granite plinth on Striegauer Platz. In 1912 the memorial was moved to a new "Schmuckplatz" in the Kaiserpromenade on the railway line to Königszelt .
Since the expulsion of the German population after 1945, the trail of the monument has also been lost.
