Vinzenz was born in 1979 in the charming town of Weilburg/Lahn, where he spent his childhood surrounded by the rolling hills and picturesque farmland of a small village. Growing up amidst the rustic beauty of the countryside, Vinzenz developed a strong connection with nature, often spending his days chasing chickens, building cabins in the woods, and playing with fire.
The influence of his parents' vast video collection was also significant in shaping his early interests. Vinzenz was particularly drawn to classic films such as "King of Kings", "Zorro", "Three Musketeers", and "Robin Hood", which sparked his imagination and fueled his passion for cinema. Later, he became enamored with titles like "Batman" and "Legend", often donning a Batman costume and painting big Zs on front doors.
As he entered his teenage years, Vinzenz's curiosity and sense of adventure led him to attempt various projects, including inventing a time machine, searching for diamonds in the forest, and digging a hole to the center of the earth. Although these endeavors ultimately proved unsuccessful, they instilled in him a valuable lesson: the importance of learning by doing.
This principle served Vinzenz well as he navigated the challenges of adolescence, including learning to ride a motor scooter, smoking, and establishing his place within a social circle. His confidence grew as he made new friends and found his footing in the world.
One fateful day, while visiting the Cologne film studios, Vinzenz was mobbed by a group of girls clamoring for his autograph. The commotion caught the attention of production staff, who invited him for an interview and eventually offered him a role in a TV series. Initially hesitant to leave his home and friends, Vinzenz eventually agreed to take the opportunity after completing his education.
