now being shown in the men
who headed Pisgah Lodge of
Bnai Brith, during its 100-
year history, directs special
attention to the colorful career
of David E. Heineman, one of
Pisgah's past presidents, de-
scribed in this article.
* * *
David E. Heineman was one
of the most -colorful figures in
Detroit's civic, social and cul-
tural life in the early years of
this century. He was the son of
Emil S. and Fanny Butzel
Heineman, and was born Oct.
17, 1865, in the old Heineman
homestead on Woodward Ave-
nue and Adelaide, one of the
DAVID E. HEINEMAN
lovely mansions that lined
Woodward Avenue before the
advent of the automobile.
He was educated in private
schools and with tutors, and
then entered the old Detroit
High School, graduating as pres-
ident of his class, in 1883. He
spent the next year in Europe
and upon his return entered the
University of Michigan in 1884,
where he took a degree in phil-
osophy in 1887. He also studied
law at the University Law
School and in the offices of
Walker and Walker, one of De-
troit's best known law firms,
and was admitted to the Bar
in May, 1889, subsequently to
Federal and United States Su-
preme Court practice.
In 1893 he became Chief As-
sistant City Attorney of Detroit
and had charge of all the -city's
court work. He compiled and
revised the Ordinances of De-
troit, a book of more than 700
pages. At the request of Gov-
ernor Hazen S. Pingree, Mich-
igan's great reform governor,
Heineman became a candidate,
in 1899, for the State Legislature
from the city at large and of the
legislators so elected he received
the highest number of votes. He
served for one regular and three
special sessions.
Beginning with 1902, he
served for seven years as a
member of - the Common
Council of which he was pres-
ident in 1906. He served De-
troit as Alderman, Assistant
Corporation Counsel and, from
1910 to 1913, as Comptroller.
During World War I he was
Food Administrator for Wayne
County.
In addition to his personal
legal work and his numerous
civic and political undertakings,
Heineman originated the City
Manager Plan of government
for cities and he was director,
vice-president and twice presi-
dent of the Michigan League of
Municipalities. In 1909 he was
president of the American
League of Municipalities.
His intense interest in art
made him a vital figure in the
program that resulted in the es-
tablishment of Detroit's Art
Center, which includes the De-
troit Institute of Arts on one
side of Woodward Avenue and
the Detroit Public Library and
the Detroit Historical Museum
on the other. In obtaining the
establishment of the Art Center,
he had the foresight to arrange
an understanding with United
States Senator Thomas W.
Palmer, in 1892, that the city
have first option on the Sena-
tor's old homestead at Wood-
ward Avenue and Farnsworth
Street for a library. When the
Art Institute preempted this
land, Heineman was successful
in tying up the land across the
street for library purposes. He
then procured for the city the
acceptance of the Andrew
Carnegie Gift of $750,000 after
it had been rejected by the
Council and given up as hope-
less by the Board of Library
Commissioners. This gift was
the nucleus of the present Li-
brary and the branch library
system.
Heineman was regarded as
an art and music critic.
A good story teller, he was
one of the most gifted of the
local lawmakers and in those
distant days, it was eventful
to hear a councilmanic debate
with David Heineman partic-
ipating.
Heineman had wide financial
interests and his business con-
nections included that of man-
aging director of the Fort
Wayne and Belle Isle Railway
Company, one of the original
street railway lines of Detroit;
director of the Detroit • Fire and
Marine Insurance and Merz
Capsule Company, and president
of the Heineman Realty Com-
pany.
His artistic spirit found its
outlet in the founding of the
Robert Hopkins Club. He was

missioners and he served as a
member and as the president
under three governors. He was
awarded the honorary degree of
Master of Arts by the Univer-
sity of Michigan in 1912.
Heineman was -- '.164rember of
the American Institute of Arch-
aeology and president of its
local society, the Palestine Ex-
ploration Fund, the Michigan
Historical Society, to whose
publication he contributed fre-
quently, member and delegate
of the National Civic Federa-
tion, president of the State
Anti-Tubercular Society, presi-
dent of the Bohemian Club of
Detroit, member of Phi Beta
Kappa, Zion Lodge of Masons,
Moslem Templ e, University
Club, Detroit Boat Club, Old
Club of St. Claire Flats, life
member of the Elks and Odd
Fellows and many other organ-
izations.
He was the designer of the
official flag of Detroit.
Heineman was a student of
Jewish affairs and he contri-
buted several papers on the
early history of the Jews in
Michigan in the publications of
the American Jewish Historical
Society, of which he was a
member.
He served as president of
Pisgah Lodge Bnai Brith and
was the organizer of the first
YIVIHA started in Detroit.
He traveled abroad eight
times and had a fluent knowl-
edge of German, Italian and
French.
Always regarded as a con-
firmed bachelor, he surprised
even his closest friends when,
at the age of 54 he married
Miss Tessa Demmon, daughter
of Prof. Isaac M. Demmon of
the faculty of the University of
Michigan.
Heineman died in 1935.
