Leonhardt was a son of the furniture manufacturer Wilhelm Leonhardt (1830–1881) and his wife Margarethe, b. Hoffmann (1838–1919), a daughter of the master builder and mayor Joseph Hoffmann in Ludwigshafen am Rhein . He was thus a nephew of the builder and mayor Wendelin Hoffmann and the commercial councilor Franz Hoffmann .

After studying architecture, he settled in Mannheim, where he was “one of the most valued and busy architects”. Among other things, the J 2.8 commercial building in Mannheim's city center and the Kirchner two-family house at Viktoriastraße 6, the Kirchner double villa at Lameystraße 32/34 and (partially) the Steiner double villa at the corner of Mollstraße and Viktoriastraße have been preserved from his works.
