Arnold Friedrich Crüwell

Arnold Friedrich Crüwell (born September 15, 1772 in Bielefeld ; † April 8, 1845 there ) was a German entrepreneur and politician.

Crüwell came from a family of tobacco entrepreneurs. The family business Gebr. Crüwell existed since 1705. After the death of the founder Johann Georg Crüwell, the company passed to his son Franz Adolph (1706–1786) and the grandson Johann Friedrich Crüwell (1741–1815). This was the father of Arnold Friedrich Crüwell (1772-1845). During his time as the owner of the tobacco factory, the company's first expansion phase took place. Arnold Crüwell later continued the expansion.

Crüwell, who was a Protestant denomination, was also politically active. He was elected for the state of the cities in the electoral district Minden-Ravensberg for the city of Bielefeld from 1833 to 1837 in the provincial parliament of the province of Westphalia .
