He then studied history, German and geography at the universities of Munich , Marburg and Würzburg . Significantly influenced by his teachers Harold Steinacker , whose primary subject was Austria-Hungary, and Georg Stadtmüller , who had made a name for himself as a connoisseur of Hungarian history, he was already interested in the history of Southeast Germans and especially the Danube Swabians during his studies. After the state examination in 1965, he started teaching at the Comenius-Gymnasium Deggendorf , where he worked as the director of studies in the German department in the training of trainee teachers until retirement. When he retired, he donated the “Dr. Senz Culture Prize”, which annually honors outstanding cultural achievements by schoolchildren.
