from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Henning August Graf von Arnim-Schlagenthin (born April 21, 1851 in Berlin , † August 20, 1910 in Bad Kissingen ) was a Prussian Fideikommissherr and royal Prussian lieutenant in the reserve and a member of the Reich Commission for the Study of Stock Exchange Studies .

Life

origin

Henning August von Arnim was the only son of the Prussian diplomat Harry von Arnim and came from his marriage to Elise von Prillwitz (1827-1854). His father served as the Prussian envoy in Rome and as the German ambassador in Paris . His half-sister Margarete (born December 9, 1859 - May 2, 1940) was married to the Minister of State Bernd von Arnim .

Military career

In the early years of his life he took piano lessons from Wagner and Liszt . His love for music connected him with his future wife Mary and created friendship with the Wagner family, including Cosima Wagner .

Henning August von Arnim took part in the Franco-German War as a flag boy and was then lieutenant in the reserve. During the time when his father was in Paris and after his escape from prison from Nassenheide abroad in 1874, Henning August took over the management of the properties in various Prussian provinces, including the Milow manor and that through his mother in the marriage brought in Gut Schlagenthin , which gave him the nickname. By wasting the goods, the goods were already in financial difficulties at that time, which he had to struggle with all his life.

From 1892 he is considered to be the main initiator of the railway line from Genthin to Milow, which was inaugurated in 1899 .

As a farmer and breeder, he was interested in the breeding of new, resilient potato and grain varieties as well as cattle and pig breeding. With considerable effort he committed himself to the rehabilitation of his father and the alleged reprisals against him that went along with the conviction of his father.

Count von Arnim-Schlagenthin married Anna Countess zu Törring-Jettenbach (1863–1888) on October 27, 1886 . On February 21, 1891, he married Mary Annette Beauchamp of England in London . From this time he entered into correspondence with his father-in-law, Henry Beauchamp. They had four daughters and a son (see children ). His wife wrote a number of novels as Elizabeth von Armin . She described him as the man of wrath ( man of wrath ).

He was based in Berlin until the 1890s, before the family moved to the Nassenheide family estate, which had been transferred back in 1896. This was the inspiration for Elizabeth's first book by Armin Elisabeth and her garden in 1898 . A brief arrest followed in 1899, followed by legal proceedings that ultimately exonerated him. During this time the children on Nassenheide were taught by EM Forster in 1905 and by Hugh Walpole , whom he had known since his studies at Oxford, in 1907 . During this time he ran into financial difficulties and was jailed for fraud. Elizabeth moved back to England with the children in 1908; Due to Henning's affairs, the couple had separate bedrooms beforehand.

He was in the German Agricultural Society and from 1908 as an elected member in the management of the society. In 1910 he had to sell the Nassenheide estate in order to avoid the threatened foreclosure auction. He then fell ill and died a short time later on a cure in Bad Kissingen.
