Arthur attended the old grammar school in Flensburg . After graduating from high school, he studied law at the Georg-August University in Göttingen . In 1835 he became a member of the Corps Vandalia Göttingen. As an inactive , he moved to the Christian-Albrechts-Universität zu Kiel , where he passed the exam in 1842. After two years as secretary of the bailiff in Süderdithmarschen , he was an auscultant at the Schleswig Higher Court from November 10, 1843 to September 24, 1847 and then an auscultant at the Schleswig-Holstein government at Gottorf Castle . The small office of Lügumkloster was established in 1850 with the office of Tondern under a bailiff - under Arthur v. Reventlow - connected. Previously, the office of the Lügumkloster was combined with the Aabenraa office .

As a war volunteer , Count Reventlow fought with the Danish Hussars against the Schleswig-Holstein uprising . In 1849 he was appointed second lieutenant and prime lieutenant à la suite . On July 19, 1850 he was appointed bailiff in Tønder Amt and Løgumkloster Sogn as well as chief dichgrave .
