From 1909 to 1914 he completed the episcopal teachers' seminar and studied oboe , singing and organ at the school of the Musikverein Linz (today's Anton Bruckner Private University ) , among others with Franz Neuhofer and Josef Gruber . He finished his music studies with the Army Kapellmeister examination, which he took with Joseph Marx at the Vienna Music Academy (now the University of Music and Performing Arts Vienna ). From 1914 Kinzl was a teacher in Andrichsfurt and Eberschwang. During the First World War he was drafted into military service in 1915; he served as a reserve lieutenant in the kk Landesschützen Regiment "Bozen" No. II and was taken prisoner of war. In the prisoner of war camp in Servigliano he appeared as a concert and theater conductor. After his release he worked as a teacher again from 1919, this time in Andrichsfurt , Eberschwang and Atzbach , where he also worked as an organist and conductor of the local music association. In 1924 Kinzl took leave of absence from teaching and from 1925 to 1928 he was the conductor of the military music of the Alpine Hunter Regiment No. 12 in Tyrol. Then he took up his old job as a teacher again. From 1929 to 1931 he was also a music advisor at the Upper Austrian Teachers 'Academy and from 1930 to 1934 a member of the Innviertel Artists' Guild .

In May 1933 Kinzl became a member of the NSDAP, and in 1934 he was transferred to Hirschbach im Mühlkreis as a punishment due to disciplinary proceedings . There he founded an illegal local NSDAP group, of which he became a board member. In 1937 Kinzl joined the NS teachers' association Gau Upper Austria, which his brother Friedrich had founded in 1931. From 1935 to 1938 he was a program advisor for the Linz broadcaster , for which he designed various programs. After the connection, Kinzl was transferred to the weaving school in Linz as senior teacher and rector. In 1938 he was music commissioner for the city of Linz and from 1938 to 1945 regional director of the Reichsmusikkammer Gau Oberdonau. In this function he worked in 1938, among other things, to rebuild the Linz Symphony Orchestra, which had recently been disbanded . In 1939, Franz Kinzl reported again for military service as a reserve officer; However, in August 1940 he was added to the list of artists exempted from military service ; after a year it was called up again. In September 1941, Kinzl organized the Upper Danube Gau Organ Competition, which Hermann Kronsteiner won. Shortly before the end of the war, Kinzl was captured and was an American prisoner of war in the Glasenbach camp until 1946 . After his release, Kinzl moved to Stadl-Paura , where he founded a music teacher orchestra; There he was arrested again in July 1946 and charged with being a member of the NSDAP before and during the Anschluss . In May 1947 the prison was suspended and Kinzl was released. In 1948 he was classified as less stressful and retired.

Franz Kinzl, who openly dealt with his past, became a member of the KPÖ as early as 1945 and sat on the Stadl-Paura municipal council for the left-wing bloc from 1949 to 1953. He also worked as a music critic for the party newspaper Neue Zeit . In 1960 Kinzl retired, but continued to work as a composer. Since 1960 he was a member of the Mühlviertel artists' guild .
