Friedrich Arnd came from a family of goldsmiths from Hessen and was born a stateless person. He worked at the Cartographic Institute in Weimar and also wrote plays.
In 1863 he married his cousin Therese on the English-occupied Heligoland, with whom he had four children; of these, Dorothea Arnd al Raschid later became a well-known portrait painter . In 1873 he began an extramarital relationship with Helene Böhlau . In 1882 divorce or a three-person marriage was considered. In 1886 he traveled with Helene to Istanbul, where he accepted Islam and, according to Islamic law, divorced his wife Therese and married Helene. After a year in Istanbul, the couple moved to Munich, where their son was born in 1895.
Gustav Meyrink is one of his best friends .
Around 1896 he met 19-year-old Paula Winkler (later Paula Buber ), who became his secretary, whom he followed to Zurich in 1898, where she studied German. However, his friend Theodor Lessing followed him and brought him back to Munich.
