Heinrich was a canon in Chur and Salzburg. He had been bishop of Chur since 1180, but was not consecrated until between June 1183 and July 1185. Heinrich is frequently mentioned in connection with Emperor Frederick I. In 1183, he was a witness to the peace of Constance between Frederick and the Lombard League and participated in the Mainz imperial diet of 1184. He accompanied Frederick on his last Italian campaign in 1184 to Verona. Heinrich's mismanagement led to the decline of his diocese. As a result, the cathedral chapter brought a case against the bishop before Pope Coelestin III, which led to Heinrich's removal from office at the end of 1193 or in 1194.
