Friedrich Brenner studied sculpture at the Academy of Fine Arts in Munich from 1960 to 1965 under Josef Henselmann and, at times parallel, took courses in coin and medal design with Karl Roth from 1964 to 1966 . After the death of his teacher in 1967, he himself took on the teaching position for coin cutting at the Munich Art Academy from 1968 to 1971.

In addition, from 1970 to 1980, Brenner worked for an architecture firm in Augsburg. From 1980 he worked as a freelance sculptor. Since his membership in the artists' circle of medalists in Munich , he has been intensively involved in medal design from 1988 onwards.

Since the international medal exhibition of the Fédération internationale de la médaille d'art (FIDEM) in Stockholm in 1985 , the artist has regularly sent FIDEM his own works. Brenner lived and worked temporarily in Anhausen , and in 2014 in Diedorf .
