Heinz Siegfried Heydrich was joined in marriage to Gertrud née Werther and together they had five children. He and his older brother Reinhard, grew up in an highly educated household. Heinz was a gifted musician playing the cello. He was devoted to his older sibling Reinhard and became his protector during their childhood years. Heinz, whose passion was journalism, would find his place in the new Nazi Germany as a spitfire anti-semetic writer. He became the editor of the Munich Illustrated Press in Berlin, and also an employee of Ministerialrat Kurzbein. He held military positions and ranks in both the Army and the SS. Heinz is rumored to have committed suicide (in East Prussia), because of what he "erroneously" believed was a pending court martial case against him for theft and corruption and he further thought the Gestapo was planing to arrest him.
