His parents were the steam sawmill owner Nathan Löwenherz and Josefine geb. Lanz (1855-1911). He was a Freemason and moved to Coburg. Richard Löwenherz completed a year of voluntary service and an internship in Aschaffenburg. He then joined his cousin David's business in Eisfeld as a co-owner . After his cousin died early, Richard Löwenherz ran the business alone and built a second furniture factory in Coburg . He resigned from the Israelite denomination, but did not join any other religious community. He married Dagmar Metzsch, an actress, she came from the Baltic nobility. The marriage remained childless. The company flourished both before and after World War I. In 1918 (according to another source as early as 1914) Richard Löwenherz was able to acquire a magnificent villa with an extensive garden at Alexandrinenstrasse 14 in Coburg, which was built in 1903 in the Art Nouveau style. A year later a garage was added and he was one of the first car owners in Coburg. In the early 1930s he became chairman of the Gesellschaft der Musikfreunde. The heyday of the companies ended with the stock market crash of 1929 and the rise of the National Socialists. Although Löwenherz tried to save the company after 1933, he did not succeed. In 1933 he came to Neustadt with his wife. In 1936 he had to sell and emigrate. He fled to Yugoslavia with his wife and lived there under modest circumstances. The wife had to earn a living as a language teacher. In 1940 he died in Zagreb . According to another source, the couple fled to Yugoslavia in 1935 and received a residence permit there. In 1942 he and his wife were stripped of their German citizenship. He was interned on May 11, 1945, in poor health, but was able to leave the camp at some point. He is buried in Zagreb.
