After attending the secondary school in Cottbus , Jenzen registered as a one-year volunteer with the Reich Telegraph Administration for military service, where he was promoted to telegraph inspector. He received the Iron Cross 2nd class and was retired from the army as a lieutenant in the infantry. After the war he worked as a civil servant (most recently as a councilor) in Berlin.

From 1919 Jenzen was active in the national movement , such as Gauwart of the German National Protection and Defense Association in Silesia .

In the 1920s, Jenzen was involved in the German Social Party (DtSP), for which he was elected to the Reichstag on May 4, 1924 on the Reichstag election and represented it in the second electoral period . On the same day, Jenzen also became a city councilor for the DtSP in Görlitz . In 1925 he was sentenced by a criminal chamber in Görlitz to three months' imprisonment and a fine of 3,000 Rentenmark for denigrating Foreign Minister Walther Rathenau, who had been murdered three years earlier . A second trial before a Görlitz lay judge for publicly insulting a religious community resulted in Jenzen being sentenced to 50 days in prison, alternatively a fine of 10,000 Reichsmarks . In 1927 he joined the NSDAP and held the city council mandate for it until 1933.

In 1930 Jenzen was re-elected to the Reichstag, this time for the NSDAP (constituency 8 - Liegnitz). He also belonged to the Reichstag in the following electoral periods, which were still free, and later to the National Socialist Reichstag until 1945.

Until 1931, Jenzen was head of the NSDAP local group in Görlitz and district head of Lower Silesia and Upper Lusatia .

At the same time he was a member of the supervisory board of Waggon- und Maschinenbau AG Görlitz . On January 31, 1938, Jenzen was deposed as mayor by the Silesian Gauleiter Josef Wagner "for lack of aptitude and as a drinker known to the city" ; Georg Hans Damrau was succeeded in office . Jenzen then lived as a district judge in Berlin-Lichterfelde .

After the end of the war, Jenzen was interned in Camp 74 near Ludwigsburg.
