Heinz Schröder (April 24, 1928 – April 22, 2009) was a German puppeteer.
He became known in East Germany (German Democratic Republic) for puppeteering popular characters such as Pittiplatsch and Herr Fuchs (Mr. Fox) in the children's program of the East German television.

From 1953, he performed in the newly founded puppet theater of the Berlin Pioneer Park "Ernst Thälmann" and from 1957 he finally started puppeteering on East German television, which should continue for over 30 years until 1991.
The most famous character Schröder portrayed and still puppeteered and voiced after his television career is Pittiplatsch, who first appeared in 1962.
He was also one of Pittiplatsch's creators since he originally came up with the idea for a kobold character and also reworked the first Pittiplatsch model before the first appearance on television.

However, from 1993 to 2009 he had been performing live with a puppeteer ensemble puppeteering characters originating from East German children's television.
Schröder stated that making children's eyes shine with his performances is his life.
He also said that the good thing about his time at the East German television was that he and the other puppeteers were not constrained politically, commenting that one couldn't put a pioneer scarf on a fox.
Heinz Schröder was married and lived in Schöneiche near Berlin.
The last time he performed was on March 29, 2009.
He died unexpectedly on April 22, 2009.
One day before his death, a spinal tumor was detected.
