Arnold Landvoigt attended the English-language boarding school Neuenheim College in Heidelberg . In 1899 he won the German championship in the 100-meter run in Strasbourg in 11.0 seconds. As a winger in rugby, he worked for the Frankfurt soccer club . At the 1900 Olympic Games in Paris, this club provided a rugby team expanded by two from Stuttgart, which played a game against the French selection on October 14, 1900 and lost 27:17. Because the IOC officially added the competition to the program of the 1900 Summer Olympics , the members of the rugby team are ranked second in the Olympic Games . Landvoigt played on November 4, 1900 in the first rugby selection game north against south on the Carls-Aue in Kassel in the south selection, the north selection won 11: 3.

Landvoigt studied cello and on his return to the United States played with his brother Thomas Elmer Landvoigt in a string quartet.
