He studied in Strasbourg, Königsberg, and Vienna, and became the director of the X-ray laboratory at Vienna General Hospital in 1905 . He later established a central radiology department at the hospital, which became known as the Guido Holzknecht Institute.

In 1902 he devised a color dosimeter (referred to as a "chromoradiometer") for detecting and measuring X-rays.
