Artistic creation
In 1922, Bunge and his colleague from the academy Willy Wenz founded the “Society for Applied Art”; both showed joint designs at the "German Trade Show" in Munich. In 1924 the “Society for Applied Art” merged with the “New Munich Applied Arts” company owned by the goldsmith Alois Wörle to form the “New Munich Art Workshop AG”. In 1925 the family moved from Munich to Mitterfeldweg to Emmering near Fürstenfeldbruck . In November 1927, Bunge registered the operation of a metal art workshop for copper, brass and bronze work in Emmering and in 1931 Bunge showed enamel work for the first time at the Munich art exhibition in the Glaspalast. In 1932 Bunge stayed in Paris; he drew and had bronze sculptures cast. There he worked with Jean Perzel , who also came from Fürstenfeldbruck. In April 1933 Bunge was back in Emmering. He followed Lily Koebner-Linke , who had lived in Berchtesgaden since 1936. Both founded the “workshops for artistic enamel work” in Reit im Winkl. It existed until 1967. Bunge continued to operate the metal workshop in Emmering. There, metal objects and the blanks for enamelling were made.
In 1942 Bunge moved to Colmar / Alsace , keeping his place of residence in Emmering, and followed Lily Koebner-Linke; She ran shops in Colmar and Strasbourg, where she sold her enamel work, painted silk scarves and other handicrafts. From 1945 to 1967 Bunge lived in Reit im Winkl and produced enamel work, while his metal workshop in Emmering produced metal objects and blanks for enamel processing.
