Karl Friedrich Ludwig Arndt , also Carl Friedrich Ludwig Arndt (born August 9, 1787 in Herrnburg ; † May 6, 1862 in Schlagsdorf ) was a German educator and Evangelical Lutheran clergyman.

Life

Karl Friedrich Ludwig Arndt was born in Herrnburg as the son of Pastor Carl Gottlob Heinrich Arndt and his wife Charlotte Christiane, born. Kohlreif (born January 23, 1763 - January 23, 1835). He was first taught by his father, attended the cathedral school in Ratzeburg from 1801 and then studied Protestant theology and philology at the University of Halle . Driven out of Halle by the events of the war in 1806, he continued his studies for a year at the University of Göttingen . After his exams, he worked as a private tutor, as was customary at the time, initially with the Judicial and Chamber Councilor David Christian Boccius at the Ratzeburg Cathedral courtyard , whose son Ludwig Christian Boccius he accompanied to the Katharineum in Lübeck until Easter 1810 , then from 1811 to 1813 in Lübeck . From this time there is an entry by Arndt in the register of his roommate at the time ( housemate ) Karl Andreas Charpentier (1793–1875) from Mitau . His plan to fight as a soldier in the Wars of Liberation in 1813 was prevented by his father's objection.

Instead, in 1813, he was appointed vice-principal of the Ratzeburg cathedral school. In 1830 he was promoted to director with the title of professor . Arndt was brother-in-law of Heinrich Arminius Riemann and long-time correspondent of Friedrich Ludwig Jahn ; he introduced gymnastics in Ratzeburg as early as 1816 .

In 1839 he was appointed pastor of the Schlagsdorf village church as the successor to Friedrich Ludwig Christian Masch (1762-1838), the father of Gottlieb Matthias Carl Masch . He stayed here until the end of his life and was involved in a variety of ways in addition to his community work. From 1844 to 1848 he was a member of the commission for the revision of the catechism and from 1854 to 1859 of the consistorial commission, the ecclesiastical supervisory authority for the Principality of Ratzeburg . From 1857 to 1859 he was a member of the commission for the preparation of a new hymnal. He was a representative of a romantic , pietistic religious life.

Since 1835 he was a member of the Association for Mecklenburg History and Archeology . He was primarily concerned with historical studies, edited the Ratzeburg tithe register for the first time, and in 1832 got a High German new edition of the biography of Joachim Slueter by Nicolaus Gryse .

Since 1816 he was married to the Schönberger pastor's daughter Friederike Wilhelmine, born Riemann (1797–1877), a sister of Heinrich Arminius Riemann . The couple had 13 children, including Friedrich Arndt (1835–1900), a doctor in the cathedral courtyard.
