His final role was that of Karl Valentin in *Playing :: Karlstadt*, directed by Bernhard Mikeska. Among his other roles at the Residenztheater were Gawrila and Piotr in *Ivanov*, Hans Günther in *Der Schweinestall*, Friar Tuck in *Robin Hood*, l’abbé Bournisien in *Madame Bovary*, and Ferapont in *Three Sisters*. During the summer months, Kleinheinz regularly appeared at the Tyrolean Folk Theater Festival (*Tiroler Volksschauspiele*); his final appearance there was in 2017, in the title role of *Der Brandner Kaspar und das ewig’ Leben*.
