Born in 1843, Heinrich Theodore Heberlein Jr. was immersed in the art of violin making his entire life, working first for his father, the respected Markneukirchen maker Carl August Heberlein. A careful and serious maker, he moved to Leipzig to work for Bausch and then Hanover where he studied with August Reichers. Establishing his own shop in 1863, Heinrich worked in the shop and taught at the Markneukirchen Violin Making School until retiring in 1897. His sons Paul Wilhelm and Albert Theodor took up the workshop continuing to use their father's name for the violins produced there
