He made the first discoveries of a previously unknown paleozoic echinoderm in the quarry at Hasborn on the left of the Moselle and opposite Winningen on the right . Georg August Goldfuß named this brittle star in 1848 in honor of Carl Wilhelm Arnoldi as Aspidosoma arnoldii G., today Encrinaster arnoldi (GOLDFUSS) 1848 and the type species of the genus Encrinaster Haeckel 1866th

The German Society for Psychiatry and Forensic Psychology elected him in September 1857 as its secretary.

At the meeting of the Society of German Natural Scientists and Doctors in Bonn in September 1857, he took part with a lecture on "Melancholy fear and its somatic reasons".

One of his central concerns was the promotion of viticulture on the Moselle and Saar, about which he published his thoughts and findings in 1869.
