Carl Gottlob Heinrich Arndt (born July 5, 1751 in Neustadt Eberswalde , † February 22, 1830 in Domhof Ratzeburg ) was a German Evangelical Lutheran clergyman and provost at Ratzeburg Cathedral .

Life

Carl Gottlob Heinrich Arndt was a son of the Eberswalde pharmacist and city treasurer Peter Arndt and his wife Dorothea Katharina, née. Schulz. He attended the school in Eberswalde and from 1767 the Joachimsthalsche Gymnasium in Berlin . His father died in 1769. With the help of scholarships he was able to study theology at the University of Halle from 1770 to 1772 . He then took on as a private tutor, first in Berlin, then in Nemerow . In 1783 he became pastor of the Herrnburg village church .

In 1802 he was appointed preposition for the Principality of Ratzeburg , consistorial assessor and cathedral preacher at Ratzeburg Cathedral. His tasks included the supervision of the parishes of the principality and also the administration of the very important assets ( arar ) of the cathedral church. He managed to keep this through the difficult times and to improve his administration. In 1822 he received a church procurator for his administrative support. On January 24, 1830, the robbery of the silver apostle figures donated by Hartwig von Bülow in 1634 from the high altar hit him hard. During an on-site visit at the cathedral, he caught a cold that eventually led to dropsy of the chest and his death.

Since 1786 he was married to Charlotte Christiane, b. Kohlreif (* January 23, 1763; † January 23, 1835), the daughter of his predecessor in Herrnburg, a descendant of Gottfried Kohlreif . Of the couple's children, Karl Friedrich Ludwig (1787–1862) was the penultimate rector of the Ratzeburg Cathedral School and then pastor in Schlagsdorf , Karl Franz Gottfried (1790–1874) vice rector of the Neubrandenburg grammar school; the daughter Dorothea Wilhelmine (1792–1869) married the pastor Johann Georg Rußwurm (1781–1848) in Selmsdorf and became the mother of Karl Friedrich Wilhelm Rußwurm and Johannes Rußwurm .
