Friedrich Carl Arndt

Friedrich Carl Arndt (born January 19, 1772 in Groß Schoritz ; † June 2, 1815 in Stralsund ) was a German lawyer, city judge and mayor of Bergen on Rügen .

Life

Friedrich Carl Arndt was the son of Ludwig Nikolaus Arndt (1740–1808) and Eleonore Dorothea Schumacher. He was a younger brother of Ernst Moritz Arndt . Both were tutored by private tutors, from 1783 to 1786 by Joachim Gottfried Danckwardt , who introduced them to the ideals of the Enlightenment .

Friedrich Carl Arndt attended high school in Stralsund from 1789 and then studied law at the University of Greifswald from 1791 . In 1794 he followed his brother to the University of Jena . When he was still studying there in 1798, his parents sent his brother Ernst Moritz to Jena to sort out the younger one.

Friedrich Carl returned to Swedish Pomerania and worked as a lawyer . He stood up for the disenfranchised serfs and “drove some nobles to mate in favor of the peasants through proper trials”, as Ernst Moritz Arndt wrote in his “Memories from Outer Life”. In 1799 he became a court advocate at the district court in Bergen auf Rügen and in 1806 procurator at the district court. As a representative of the city, he represented this in the Greifswald state parliament of 1806 , which he described as a "tragic comedy". From November 1809 Friedrich Carl Arndt was city judge and mayor of Bergen.

As early as 1801 he had married his cousin Anna Caroline Elisabeth Arndt (1781–1850), daughter of his uncle Hinrich Arndt (1726–1811) on Posewald. The marriage remained childless. From 1809 to 1815 the two lived in a house on the Bergener Markt opposite the Landvogtei.

Friedrich Carl Arndt suffered a stroke in Stralsund in 1815, from the consequences of which he died. He was buried in the St. Jürgen cemetery .
