Biernatzki conducted intensive art-historical studies. For Richard Haupt he compiled the artist directory for the art monuments of the province of Schleswig-Holstein . The work on it also led to a number of studies on individual artists.

In Hamburg, at the request of Justus Brinckmann, he put together a collection of documented news on the history of arts and crafts in Hamburg , which is now kept in the Museum of Art and Crafts . His research on Hinrik Funhof was fundamental to Carl Georg Heise's study.
