A geometrical description of the Heisenberg magnet (HM) equation with classical spins is given in terms of flows on the quotient space $G/H_+$ where $G$ is an infinite dimensional Lie group and $H_+$ is a subgroup of $G$. It is shown that the HM flows are induced by an action of $\mathbb{R}^2$ on $G/H_+$, and that the HM equation can be integrated by solving a Birkhoff factorization problem for $G$. For the HM flows which are Laurent polynomials in the spectral variable we derive an algebraic transformation between solutions of the nonlinear Schroedinger (NLS) and Heisenberg magnet equations. The Birkhoff factorization for $G$ is treated in terms of the geometry of the Segal-Wilson Grassmannian $Gr(H)$. The solution of the problem is given in terms of a pair of Baker functions for special subspaces of $Gr(H)$. The Baker functions are constructed explicitly for subspaces which yield multisoliton solutions of NLS and HM equations.
