Lorenzl started out at the Vienna Arsenal foundry where he learned the bronze casting techniques. Working in the Vienna Arsenal, located in the south-eastern part of Vienna, he was able to produce many bronze and chryselephantine sculptures. Being a gifted ceramicist he produced pieces for Goldscheider, working from a studio on company grounds.
