Arnim (noble family)
Arnim is the name of an ancient noble family from the Brandenburg region , which was first mentioned in a document with Alardus de Arnim in 1204.
history
The von Arnim family appeared with the German settlement of the Altmark . Not far from Stendal - in the city forest eastwards to the Elbe - lies the village of Arnim (now part of Stendal). It belonged to the Vogtei Arneburg . The Elbe crossing was ruled by the Arneburg, which was an important border fortress against the Slavs in Ascanian times . The younger son Albrecht the Bear named himself Count von Arneburg after her .
The first Arnim that can be proven by a document in 1204 was Alardus de Arnem, Burgmann zu Arneburg. The exact circumstances of the origin of the family at this time can no longer be fully clarified, but the family lived around Stendal in the 13th century.
In the centuries that followed, the family played a major role in the German settlement of the area northeast of Berlin (i.e. today's Uckermark ). Up until 1945 there were more than a dozen manors, country estates and castles owned by family members. The most important possession was the Boitzenburg estate (with approx. 13,900 hectares of land), which came into the possession of the Arnims for the first time in 1427 and from 1528 onwards. Branches also existed in other parts of eastern and central Germany, particularly Saxony. The von Arnim family is one of the most numerous German aristocratic families after the von Bülow .
The line of the Counts of Arnim-Boitzenburg sat from October 12, 1854, with the respective Fideikommissherrn until the revolution of 1918 as a hereditary member in the Prussian manor house . In addition, in 1854 the family was granted the right to present to the Prussian mansion as one of ten old Prussian nobility families with large property holdings by King Friedrich Wilhelm IV .
In the registration book of the Dobbertin monastery there are 13 entries by daughters of the von Arnim family for admission to the noble women's monastery in the Dobbertin monastery in Mecklenburg .
As a result of the land reform from 1945 onwards, all family properties were expropriated. After the German reunification in 1990, individual branches of the family succeeded in re-establishing agricultural or forestry operations in the new federal states, for example Count Arnim in Boitzenburger Land in Mahlendorf and Lichtenhain or von Arnim in Bietikow , Zernikow and Brandenstein, and temporarily in Groß Fredenwalde (until 2014, now from Borcke ); Related families now manage the former Arnim estates in Kröchlendorff (v. Oppen ) and Blankensee (Count Hahn v. Burgsdorff). Daisy Countess von Arnim runs an apple orchard in the manor house in Lichtenhain, which until 1945 belonged to Boitzenburg Castle.
The war orphan Achim von Arnim (adH?) Was born by the childless married couple Philipp Freiherr von Gemmingen-Guttenberg and Olga Marie. Freiin von Saint-André adopted under the name of Saint-André-Arnim and inherited the Saint-André castle in Königsbach in Baden from his adoptive mother, whose brothers had died childless .
