biography
Böhrnsen worked from 1928 to 1936 at Großwerft AG Weser as a mechanical engineering apprentice and fitter. Initially a member of the SAJ and the SPD , he joined the SAPD founded in 1931 and the KJVD in 1932 . During the Nazi era he was active for the KPD in illegal resistance work against the regime. Imprisoned from 1936 to 1939 for political reasons, he had to fight in the Penal Division 999 in World War II from 1942 and was taken prisoner by the Americans in May 1943, which ended in July 1946. From 1946 to 1948 he worked in the public service as a youth carer and then until 1951 with the American military government. He joined in 1948 from the KPD and was again a member of the SPD and soon a member of the trade union IG Metall .
From 1951 he was again employed by AG Weser. In 1954 he entered the list of the trade union IG Metall for election to the works council . The union list received 2,620 votes (= 66%).
