Life

Heidinger was born in 1904 in Freiburg in southern Baden, the son of a teacher. After attending primary school in Freiburg, he switched to a secondary school in Schwetzingen. He then attended high schools in Tauberbischofsheim and Karlsruhe, where he also passed his Abitur. In 1923 Heidinger began studying chemistry at what was then the Technical University in Karlsruhe, which he only finished in 1930 with the diploma examination. At the TH, Heidinger was temporarily chairman of the republican student union. Then he found a job at the Budenheim chemical factory. At the same time, he worked on his dissertation on the subject of "About the hypobromite breakdown of proteins", with which he was awarded a Dr.-Ing. received his doctorate. In 1933 Heidinger left Budenheim and spent two years preparing for the state food chemistry examination, which he passed in 1935 with the state examination in food chemistry. He then found a job as a chemist at Elektro Nitrum Ag in Lauffenburg, Baden. After Heidinger, close to his own admission, had already joined the SA in 1933, he also joined the National Socialist German Workers' Party (NSDAP) in 1937 . In 1939 the 35-year-old Heidinger moved to the prosperous ammonia plant in Merseburg, where he initially found a job as a laboratory manager. Due to the production of the so-called Leunabenzins from the surrounding lignite, the company, also known as the Leunawerk, with its hydrogenation works was one of the most important operations in Germany for the war effort. Heidinger was placed in the UK accordingly and stayed in the factory until the end of the war.

On April 14, 1945, American troops initially occupied the Leuna Works, which remained in the factory until the agreed change of crew on June 30, 1945. During this time, numerous patents and research documents were confiscated and employees were poached. Heidinger was reserved about this request. During this time, he was used to guard the plant as protection against looting by private individuals, while Heidinger guarded the company's own Daspig waterworks .

After the Second World War , Heidinger became a member of the NDP, which was later renamed the NDPD, and worked in the GDR as a works manager in the Leuna works “Walter Ulbricht”. In 1957 he received the National Prize of the GDR III with the epoxy resin collective . Class for science and technology "for the development of important synthetic resins, especially epoxy resin, and for their initiative in the application of these substances in industrial practice, which is of great economic importance".

He represented the NDP as a member of the People's Chamber , the parliament of the GDR, in the fourth electoral term . He was also a member of the central board of the Society for German-Soviet Friendship .
