Lehner, 72, informed the executive board that he would resign, effective July 31, and that he would withdraw from the supervisory board, Thyssenkrupp said in a statement, adding that it would decide on a successor "shortly".
Hiesinger had championed a European merger of Thyssenkrupp's steel interests with those of India's Tata Steel as a key plank of a strategy of turning around the group, which employs 158,000 staff.
He quit after failed to win unanimous shareholder backing for the Tata deal, which was two years in the making and less advantageous for Thyssenkrupp than some investors had hoped.
Activist investors Cevian Capital, which holds an 18 percent stake in Thyssenkrupp, and Elliott have called for an across-the-board strategy review at the Essen-based conglomerate.
