Born in Zorbau near Weißenfels, Winkler studied Protestant church music with a focus on the organ in Halle, Leipzig and Prague. From 1970 to 1982 he was cantor and organist in Köthen.

In addition to playing the organ during church services and the Kreuzchor vespers, he regularly gave organ concerts in Kreuzkirche. Winkler taught at the Hochschule für Kirchenmusik Dresden, at the musicological institute of the Technical University of Dresden and until his retirement in June 2001 at the Hochschule für Musik Carl Maria von Weber.
