Life

The political prisoners in Mainz 1849

Adam Konrad Boeninger was born in Albersweiler as the child of the chief forester Johann Heinrich Wilhelm Bönninger and Maria Eva Elisabeth Boltz. He married Katharina Barbara Weiss on June 17, 1847. Adam Konrad Boeninger, like his older half-brother Karl Heinrich Boeninger, became a book printer, was editor of the Frankenthaler Wochenblatt from 1838 to 1847 and took over a printing company in Worms in 1847.

As a publisher of democratically oriented newspapers in the course of the March Revolution in 1848, he was accused and imprisoned several times for critical publications. He was among the political prisoners in the Mainz Iron Tower during the Mainz high treason trial 1849-1850, in which Johann Philipp Bandel , Ludwig Blenker , Ferdinand Eberstadt , Ferdinand von Loehr and Salomon Lohnstein were all accused and all of them acquitted. Adam Konrad Boeninger died on April 15, 1886 in Worms, his successor was his son Gustav Boeninger. The German Catholic Boeninger had been a member of the Freemason Lodge in Worms since 1848 .

AK Boeninger printing house

From 1848 to 1851 the daily newspaper “ Die neue Zeit ” founded by Ferdinand von Loehr and, after its ban in 1851, the “Worms Advertisement and Entertainment Gazette” were published in the “AK Boeninger” book printing company in Worms . This was renamed in 1858 in " Rheinischer Herold ", whose publication was stopped in 1880, possibly at the instigation of the industrialist Cornelius Wilhelm von Heyl zu Herrnsheim from Worms .

In addition, the publishing program mainly included small fonts from the Worms associations and institutions, including Masonic, Jewish and Mennonite literature, as well as dissertations. After Adam Konrad Boeninger's death in 1886, the printing company was taken over by his son Gustav Boeninger and, after his death in 1913, his widow Lina Boeninger, née Zucker. In 1933 the print shop was owned by Reinhard Friedrich. The publisher's last publications appeared in the 1930s.
