Live and act

The son of the instigator and community leader Karl Gottlob Heymann in Großolbersdorf attended the local elementary school and then enjoyed four years of private tuition. From 1874 to 1877 he did his military service with the hunters, the field artillery and the gendarmerie. After his marriage in 1878, he took over his father's inheritance and feudal court . In 1882 he was elected local judge and member of the municipal council. In 1886 he was a community elder.

Heymann founded a wooden toy factory in 1891 with initially 12 employees. By 1906 he was able to expand the company so that 50 workers were active in the machine shop and he could also employ 20 home workers . The company's sales reached as far as England. In May 1909, the company also took over the production of reform toys from the Dresden workshops for wood art , which at the beginning of the century paved the way for artistically high-quality and educationally sophisticated toys. The manufacture of toys had to be stopped after the beginning of the First World War . Furniture was then produced in the factory.

From 1888 Heymann was chairman of the agricultural association for Großolbersdorf and the surrounding area. Furthermore, he was a member of the select committee of the agricultural district association in the Erzgebirge, district chairman of the Marienberg military association district and, from 1898, a deputy member of the administrative board of the agricultural credit association .

From 1891 to 1918 he held the mandate as a member of the 33rd rural constituency in the Second Chamber of the Saxon Landtag , on which his father had already belonged from 1873 to 1891.
