Live and act

Fritz Bönisch attended the seven-grade elementary school and was interested in old maps and church registers from an early age . From 1937 to 1940 he apprenticed to his father Willi Bönisch, a master carpenter , and after completing his apprenticeship was drafted into the Reich Labor Service and finally into the Wehrmacht . After his return home on June 20, 1945, he worked as a carpenter again and passed the master craftsman's examination on May 14, 1947 . On April 1, 1959, he took over his father's workshop and worked as a self-employed master carpenter until his retirement in 1988. In 1987 he became an honorary master craftsman. As a part-time job, he was a specialist teacher at the vocational school for carpenters from 1947 to 1952 and lecturer for master craftsmen's courses in the carpentry trade from 1952 to 1977 and member of the master craftsman's examination committee of the Chamber of Crafts.

After work and on weekends, Bönisch studied old files in the archives in Potsdam and Dresden . He published more than 150 works on metrology and the history of cartography , but also on local , regional and state history , on the history of architecture and art, and on heraldry . He designed many Niederlausitz official, city and district coats of arms, for example of Großräschen , Altdöbern , Tettau , Neupetershain and the district of Oberspreewald-Lausitz . "In recognition of his achievements and merits in the field of local research, especially historical cartography", he was awarded the Silver Leibniz Medal of the Academy of Sciences of the GDR in 1989. In 1994 he became an honorary member of the Association for Saxon State History and in 1996 an honorary citizen of Großräschen. He was also the second chairman of the Niederlausitz Society for History and Regional Studies . In 2003 he became a corresponding member of the State Historical Association for the Mark Brandenburg .
