Through his advocacy, Arndt got a job at Magdeburg Cathedral as an assistant preacher immediately after his studies in 1829 . In 1833 he moved to the Parochialkirche (Berlin) in Berlin as "Second Preacher", and seven years later he became "First Preacher". He held this office until his retirement in 1875. As one of the most important preachers of the 19th century, Arndt had a great influence at the royal court.
