Life
Lenz was the son of the engineer Rudolf Lenz and his wife Antonia, nee Weiser. He studied mechanical engineering and was a marine engineer in the Navy from 1941 to 1945. After the Second World War, Lenz took lessons from Kirchner in Vienna and since 1950 has appeared on stages in Graz and Klagenfurt and at the Theater in der Josefstadt in Vienna.
He received his first leading role in the Austrian homeland film Echo der Berge (1954), published in Germany under the title Der Förster vom Silberwald , which suddenly made him a star. Lenz then played in around thirty films with a similar cut - e.g. B. in Ganghofer film adaptations - which built on the original success. Rudolf Lenz regularly played the noble, reserved, nature-loving young man in these films.
When the Heimatfilm wave subsided in German-speaking countries, Rudolf Lenz's star of success also fell. He played supporting roles in several Fassbinder films from the 1970s, e.g. B. in Fontane Effi Briest and expulsion from paradise . Since 1980 he has been running a naturopathic practice in Munich with his ex-wife and her husband , and since 1985 the naturopathic hotel “Novavita” in Gschwall near Inzell, where he worked as a naturopath to the end. Lenz was divorced twice and had one daughter.
In 1987 Lenz died of a heart attack . His grave is in the cemetery in Inzell.
