He was born on the 11th of August 1815 at Obercassel near Bonn.
He studied theology at Bonn and Berlin.
He established himself at Bonn in 1836 as privat docent of theology, later became master at the gymnasium there, and was for a short time assistant preacher in Cologne. Changing his religious opinions, he abandoned theology and delivered lectures on the history of art, in which he had become interested on a journey to Italy in 1837.
In 1846 he was appointed extraordinary professor of the history of art at Bonn University. For his share in the revolution in the Palatinate in 1849 Kinkel was arrested and, sentenced to penal servitude for life, was interned in the fortress of Spandau. His friend Carl Schurz contrived in November 1850 to effect his escape to England, whence he went to the United States.
Returning to London in 1853, he for several years taught German and lectured on German literature, and in 1858 founded the German paper Hermann. In 1866 he accepted the professorship of archaeology and the history of art at the Polytechnikum in Zurich, in which city he died on the 13th of November 1882.
Among Kinkel's other works may be mentioned the tragedy Nimrod (1857), and his history of art, Geschichte der bildenden Ktinste bei den christlichen Volkern (1845). Kinkel's first wife, Johanna, пёе Mockel (1810 - 1858), assisted her husband in his literary work, and was herself an author of considerable merit.

In London, he joined the Communist League. Later he became involved with the August Willich-Karl Schapper group within the League and came out against Karl Marx and Frederick Engels in the split within the Communist League.
In 1843, he married Johanna Mockel (1810–1858), a writer, composer and musician who assisted her husband in his literary work and revolutionary activities. They had four children. In 1860, Kinkel married Minna Emilia Ida Werner.
