Life

Ilja Bohnet was born in Berlin to a family of actors.

As a child, Ilja Bohnet appeared at renowned theater stages (such as the Schillertheater and the Renaissance Theater in Berlin or the Städtische Bühnen Frankfurt), as well as on children's television (such as in Sesamstraße or Rappelkiste ). Because of the changing theater engagements of his stepfather Ulrich Pleitgen, he attended schools in Berlin, Cologne, Frankfurt a. M., Stuttgart, Bochum and Hamburg, where he graduated from high school in 1987. In the same year he received the third prize in the state competition Jugend forscht . He studied physics at the University of Hamburg , after completing his doctorate in 1999, he did a short research stay at the Fermilab in Chicago the following year , after which he worked as a research assistant at the German Electron Synchrotron DESY in Zeuthen near Berlin. From 2003 he worked as a science officer in the directorate office of the same research center in Hamburg. Since 2012 he has been working as a research officer in the office of the Helmholtz Association of German Research Centers in Berlin. His fiction work began with the crime novel Fridays One Eats Fish , which was co-produced with his mother and was nominated in 2010 for the Friedrich Glauser Prize in the “Debut” category.
