Settlements from namesakes in 

Germany, Poland, France and USA

 

 

Apart from the early places of works of the "master Bonsac" in 

 

Maulbronn and Magdeburg

 

there are six settlements with namesakes in Germany from the Middle Ages until today. 

 

 

1. The first settlement ,already in the time of Henry II., named the Lion, proved through documents, is 

 

Mecklenburg.  

 

2. Only a short time later we find the namesakes in 

 

Schleswig-Holstein, 

 

especially in Hamburg, Lübeck and Bremen.  

 

3. In the same way we must mention the place of settlement in and around

 

Celle. 

 

Celle could be the starting point for the migration to Mecklenburg

 

4. The fourth place of settlement is lying around the 

 

valley of the Leine (Leinetal) up to Duderstadt

 

 

5. Probably also in this historical order we find the namesakes  in the 16th century in a small part of 

 

Thüringen

 

especially around Waltershausen and Gotha.

 

 

6. In addition there is still - already from that 15. Century - a settlement in and around the place

 

Bohnsack nearby from Danzig (today Gdansk) in Poland.

 

 

Around the whole World there are any Bo(h)nsac(k) places in

France, Australia  and the USA



We'll describe these six settlements in detail on the next pages.
