Hintze studied at Humboldt University of Berlin under Hermann Grapow and received his doctorate in 1944.
Hintze's main area of research was the study of meriotic culture in Nubia.
He undertook field research projects at Butana (1957–58) and Musawwarat es-Sufra (1960–1970).
[2][3] Among his students were a generation of Egyptologists, many of whom specialize in the Sudan of antiquity, including Erika Endesfelder, Liselotte Honigmann-zinserling, Irene Shirun-Grumach, Karl-Heinz Priese, Walter-Friedrich Reineke and Steffen Wenig.
