Renker has published over sixty novels, some of which have been made into films. His work is mostly attributable to the anti-modern province literature of the interwar period.[1]
He was the father in law of Heinrich Sutermeister. Part of his literary estate is archived in the Carinthian literary archives in Klagenfurt.[2]
