Career

Arnold von Reden was born during the Kingdom of Hanover . In Lüneburg he attended the local knight academy and subsequently joined the Royal Hanoverian Army . In his military career he rose to first lieutenant and was appointed Rittmeister on May 17, 1858 .

After the battle of Langensalza and the annexation of the Hanoverian state territory by Prussia in 1866 von Speeches retired from the military service and was primarily active in the merger of the opposition movement against Prussian politics. In the course of the formation of the “Hanoverian electoral association”, the German-Hanoverian Party (DHP), von Reden played an important role in calling people's assemblies . After his election to the board of directors of the Hanover election association, he was elected deputy chairman of the party. It is true that Count Berthold von Bernstorff “represented the party in all directions as a grand seigneur”, while speeches from outside were barely noticed. Von Reden, however, headed the actual management of the DHP. He developed a special skill both in the search and in the selection of candidates and shop stewards within the individual constituencies. What was particularly important to him was the clear commitment to the legal standpoint of the Guelph movement. So he persuaded unreliable candidates to resign and successfully eliminated them in some constituencies with the help of constituency organizations.

Because of this rigor and his aristocratic disposition, von Speen often came into conflict with other groups within the DHP. For Ludwig Windthorst in particular , the representative of the "Rittmeister Party" within the DHP was a regular occasion for internal party opposition. But von Speen and his like-minded people opposed it; and finally, with the help of the exiled court in Gmunden , Windthorst's attempts to influence the opposite were succeeded.

In the meantime, the DHP's most important press organ, the Deutsche Volkszeitung , which was initially led by Count Bernstorff, the former Hanoverian Minister of Education, Bodo von Hodenberg and “the committee member Cronenfeld”, had accumulated financial losses. Finally, von Bernstorff and Cronenberg transferred their property rights to the consistorial councilor Ernst Cammann , the mayor Friedrich Behre and Arnold von Reden. Hodenberg kept his shares, but waived any right of influence. The considerable influence of von speeches on the Deutsche Volkszeitung increased even more when the shares were taken over after Camman's death in 1875 and Behre left.

After a lengthy and cumbersome inheritance procedure , the almost 60-year-old and initially hesitant Rittmeister a. D Arnold von Reden, with the help of the administrator August Mayn, called the manor his own (230 ha ), but he also owned the Hermannsburg III estate (0.14 ha).
