Live and act

After attending elementary school and upper secondary school in Znojmo Felix Bornemann studied at the German Technical University in Brno mechanical engineering and electrical engineering and later at the German University in Prague Law . Bornemann never achieved a university degree. During the First World War , Bornemann became a machine gun platoon commander as a lieutenant in the reserve.

From 1918 to 1924 Bornemann was the main editor of the Znojmo daily newspaper and the Südmährische Rundschau . From 1921 he taught at the Sealsfied Adult Education Center in Znojmo and in 1924 he settled in Znojmo as an independent bookseller, antiquarian and company owner ( Fournier & Haberle ). In addition, he held various important honorary positions in national combat units as well as in cultural and economic bodies in South Moravia. In October 1918 Bornemann took over duties as a functionary of the German National Socialist Workers' Party (DNSAP), from 1918 to 1933 as head of the South Moravia district and local group leader in Znojmo. In April 1935 he joined the Sudeten German Party (SdP), which dissolved in 1938 after the annexation of the Sudeten areas by the National Socialist German Reich . He then joined the NSDAP (membership number 6.570.980). He built up the NSDAP organization in Znojmo and has been its district leader since 1938 .

From 1918 to 1938 Bornemann was repeatedly arrested or sentenced to prison terms for political offenses in Czechoslovakia . For example, he spent five months in prison until the German invasion of October 1, 1938 .

On the occasion of the Sudeten German elections that took place on December 4, 1938, in addition to the Reichstag elected in April 1938, Bornemann entered the National Socialist Reichstag , to which he was a representative of the Sudeten region until the end of Nazi rule . In the SS he reached the rank of SS-Obersturmbannführer in November 1943 (SS no. 314.152).

After the end of the war, he was taken into custody in the Znojmo District Court and in April 1947 a trial against him was carried out there. He fled to the Federal Republic of Germany and worked, among other things, as a functionary / home district supervisor of the Sudeten German Landsmannschaft of the Znojmo-South Moravia district. In 1940, he planned in Znojmo "to convert Horst-Wessel-Platz into a memorial for those who fell in World War II and those of the current great wrestling and to purchase a monument from the hand of our great artist Dr. Hugo Lederer [...]". In Geislingen / Steige in 1971 he organized an exhibition on the 100th birthday of Hugo Lederer and gave a speech in which he untruthfully claimed that Lederer's "last work was a memorial for those who fell in both world wars in his hometown of Znojmo." He wrote a brochure based on a publication from 1931 without mentioning it. In this booklet he made several unsubstantiated claims, including a. that Lederer's sculpture "The dancer Anna Pawlowa feeding a deer" was placed in the garden of Hitler's Reich Chancellery.
