During 1945/46 Heineken teamed up with others, including Anna Klara Fischer, Anna Stiegler, Käthe Popall and Irmgard Enderle to establish the ”Bremer Frauenausschuss” (BFA / ”Bremen Women’s Committee”), intended as a non-denominational non-party umbrella grouping of women’s organisations across the state of Bremen, from every part of society. Heineken was a leading figure within the BFA for many years, serving as its president during 1949/50.
