He was born on November 21, 1943 in Gotenhafen (Gdynia, Poland) to Roswitha Heinsohn, née Maurer and the late Kriegsmarine Kapitänleutnant Heinrich Heinsohn, last serving on U-438. In 1984 he received a Lehrstuhl, a tenured chair in social pedagogy at the University of Bremen.

Heinsohn has published on a wide array of topics, starting from economics, demography and its relationship with security policy and genocide, and revisionist chronology theories in the tradition of Immanuel Velikovsky.

Heinsohn grew up in Brodau (part of Schashagen) and Pützchen (close to Bonn) after the family fled from Gotenhafen at the end of the War. He attended school in Oberkassel, Bonn and Sankt Peter-Böhl, where he received his Abitur in 1964. He studied from 1964 at Freie Universität Berlin. He graduated 1971 in sociology and gained a 1974 summa cum laude doctorate in social sciences, Heinsohn received a second doctorate in economics in 1982. In 1984, Heinsohn became Professor at the University of Bremen. He founded the Raphael-Lemkin-Institut für Xenophobie- und Genozidforschung, a center for comparative research in genocide and xenophoby. The center was dissolved after Heinsohn went in retreat. Heinsohn has taught at the Management Zentrum St. Gallen, at Hochschule Luzern and in demographic studies at the Bundesakademie für Sicherheitspolitik in Berlin and at NATO Defense College in Rome.
