Bohlig, son of the sculptor Arthur Bohlig and his wife Clotilde, b. Böhme, studied at the Dresden Art Academy as a student of Paul Wallot . In 1902 he became a member of the Corps Lusatia Dresden. The architect who worked in Dresden was a member of the Association of German Architects .

In 1906 Bohlig won the competition for the Realschule with Progymnasium for the Lößnitz ( Steinbachhaus des Lößnitzgymnasium), which was then built by the building company FW Eisold . Due to the time, the school building shows an eclectic mix of styles from historicism ( neo-renaissance , neo-baroque with ornamentation in the neo-empire ) and art nouveau . A few years later, Bohlig further developed the design style of reform architecture for his residential buildings in the 1910s . Even before the First World War, the building of the pioneering Pestalozzi School in Bautzen made him known, which was followed by other school buildings in Wendisch-Sohland and in Sohland on the Spree .

In 1920 he took part in the general ideas competition for a building for the German Hygiene Museum , but was not considered.

In 1939 Bohlig was commissioned to carry out "objectification" at the Annenkirche in Dresden . After the Second World War he was given the task of rebuilding the badly damaged building at the same church.

The “striking artist personality” “shaped the new architectural face of old Dresden”, together with Otto Beyrich , Oswin Hempel , Alexander Hohrath , Rudolf Kolbe , Max Hans Kühne , Oskar Menzel , Otto Reinhard , Alexander Tandler and others. a. Bohlig, who also works as an appraiser, consultant on fee issues and as a judicial building appraiser, created 50 schools in Saxony in addition to various settlements, residential, administrative and industrial buildings and churches.

Bohlig was buried in a family grave at the Trinity Cemetery in Dresden , where his father Arthur Bohlig (1850–1934) also lies.
