Biography

Julia Heinze is a native of Munich. This is where she was born and where she finished her high school as well as dance education and where she graduated from acting school. Munich is also the place where she first performed at various theater venues. In 2004 it was Bernd Fischerauer who offered her the lead role in the two-part BR TV film Apollonia. In it she plays a Tyrolean miller's daughter who is forced to come to terms with the harsh realities of the alpine world and the brutal life at the beginning of the 20th century. Apollonia became a huge success and consequently aired several times. In 2005, the then unknown director Ralf Westhoff offered her a part in his first big screen called Shoppen. In it Julia Heinze plays a speed dating participant who babbles away at her partners in the most eloquent of manners. Up to this day Julia Heinze gets stopped in the street by passersby who vividly remember her performance in that wonderful film. In 2007 she eventually received a best-actress nomination for her role Jasmin at the Undine Award. Also in 2007, she took the chance to present her native Munich dialect in the role of Bertl in the story of Liest Karlstadt und Karl Valentin which was whelmed by Jo Baier. Yet another milestone experience for Julia Heinze was to play the novice Maria in the tremendously successful TV series Um Himmels Willen in which she acted for three seasons and thus became well-known to the German audience.
