In 1811 he was hired as an engineer in the building deputation and after Reinke's death in 1825 his successor, from 1841 with the title of chief engineer .
Heinrich's tasks included, among other things, the softening and redesign of the Hamburg ramparts after the end of the French occupation as well as the measurement and re-planning of the fire area after the Hamburg fire of 1842.
In this context, he created numerous city maps and topographical maps, which today are among the most outstanding sources on the history of the city in the 19th century.
