Work as an author, church and local history researcher

Bernhard Sacrificemann published monographs on the administration of Eichsfeld (1958) and the monasteries there and their history (1962). In 1959 a volume was published on the Thuringian monasteries before 1800 and in 1968 a book on religious images of people from Eichsfeld. In 1987 the Diocese of Fulda appeared in the Third Reich: (Eastern and Western parts); Priests, religious and lay people who gave testimony to Christ and in 1988 a rich volume on the Episcopal Office of Erfurt-Meiningen . Many of his volumes appeared in multiple editions.

Furthermore, for many years he published the Romana-Fuldense Diretorium , which regulated mass and breviary prayers for the clergy in the diocese of Fulda. He wrote eighteen headwords in the Lexicon for Theology and Church . He was also regularly involved in compilations. In 1936 he wrote on the 1100th anniversary of the Petersberg community about the year of the death of Saint Lioba and in 1954 on the Boniface anniversary about Boniface in Thuringia. Contributions from him appeared in the Fuldaer Geschichtsbl Blätter and the Eichsfelder Heimathefte . He published 19 articles in the journal Theologie und Glaube and a total of 34 in the Bible and Liturgy . He regularly wrote articles for other Eichsfeld local history journals such as the Marienkalender and the Heimatstimme.

From 1945 onwards, Bernhard Sacrificemann was increasingly cut off from the heartland of the Diocese of Fulda due to the zone boundary , so that his research afterwards primarily concerned Eichsfeld and Thuringia. Nevertheless, Erwin Sturm attests to his undeniable services to the Fulda region.
