After his school education Rentzel studied law at the University of Rostock and the University of Leiden . There he held a disputation in 1634 under the leadership of Professor Nicolaas Dedel . He then moved to the University of Basel and completed his studies there on November 27, 1640 as a licentiate in both rights.

Rentzel settled in Hamburg as a lawyer and was elected councilor on February 22, 1658, the day of the Petri chair celebration. As such he took over the praetur in 1660 and the administration of the Hamburg bank in 1662 .

A dispute with the councilor Nicolaus von der Fechte († 1660), who was praetor with Rentzel, is said to have led to his early death in 1660. Afterwards Rentzel is said to have become more and more serious and lived unhappily. His previous judicial work brought him to the idea of ​​atoning for his guilt through a foundation for offenders. In his will he donated not only meals for the orphanage and inn, but also the Hamburg spinning house .

There is a portrait of Rentzel in the main church of Sankt Katharinen .

Rentzelstrasse in the Hamburg districts of Rotherbaum and St. Pauli , as well as the Rentzelstrasse bridge, which connects these two districts, were named after him in 1899 .
