Albrecht Bonnet studied mechanical engineering at the Technical University of Karlsruhe . He worked as an engineer and factory owner. From 1895 he devoted himself to local archeology.

Bonnet carried out excavations in the south of Duisburg in 1895 and 1896 . There he found in barrows 120 Celtic and Germanic polls. He gave this to the city of Duisburg on condition that it be made accessible to citizens in a suitable room.

From 1898 to 1900 he carried out excavations in a sand pit near Hochstetten . At the same time, around 1899, he carried out excavations on Michaelsberg (Untergrombach) .

From 1899 he and Alfred Schliz carried out archaeological excavations in the Stone Age settlement of Großgartach . There they located several rectangular, Stone Age residential areas, the so-called Stone Age settlement of Großgartach . The excavation method developed by Bonnet and Schliz, which concentrates on selected individual points of interest instead of a large area on an entire area, is known as the Bonnet-Schlizsche method .
