See also:LUDWIG ACHIM See also:ARNIM (See also:JOACHIM) VON (1781-1831) , See also:German poet and novelist, was See also:born at See also:Berlin on the 26th of See also:January 1781 . He studied natural See also:science at See also:Halle and See also:Gottingen, and published one or two essays on scientific subjects; but his See also:bent was from the first towards literature . From the earlier writings of See also:Goethe and See also:Herder he learned to appreciate the beauties of German traditional legends and folk-songs; and, forming a collection of these, published the result (18o6-1808), in collaboration with Klemens See also:Brentano (q.v.) under the See also:title See also:Des Knaben 1Vunderhorn . From 1810 onward he lived with his wife Bettina, Brentano's See also:sister, alternately at Berlin and on his See also:estate at \Viepersdorf, near Dahme in See also:Brandenburg, where he died on the 21st of January 1831 . See also:Arnim was a prolific and versatile writer, gifted with a sense of See also:humour and a refined See also:imagination—qualities shown in the best-known of his See also:works, Des Knaben Wunderhorn, deficient as this is in the philological accuracy and faithfulness to See also:original See also:sources which would now be expected of such a compilation . In See also:general, however, his writings, full as they are of the exaggerated sentiment and affectations of the romantic school, make but little See also:appeal to See also:modern See also:taste . There are possible exceptions, such as the See also:short stories Fiirst Ganzgott and See also:Sanger Halbgott and Der toile Invalids auf dent Fort Ratonneau and the unfinished See also:romance See also:Die Kronen wachter (1817), which promised to develop into one of the finest See also:historical romances of the loth See also:century . Among Arnim's other works may be mentioned Hollins Liebesleben (1802), Der Wintergarten (1809), a collection of tales; Armut, Reichtum Schuld, and Busse der Gratin Dolores (r81o), a novel; Halle and See also:Jerusalem (1811), a dramatic romance; and one or two smaller novels, such as See also:Isabella von Agypten (1812) . Arnim's Sdnttliche Werke were edited by his widow and published in Berlin in 1839–184o; second edition in 22 vols., 1853–1856 . Selections have been edited by J . Dohmke (1892); M . See also:Koch, Arnim, Klemens and Bettina Brentano, See also:Gorres (1893) .

ARNIM-BOYTZENBURG, HANS GEORG VON (1581-1641), German general and diplomatist, was born in 1581 at Boytzenburg in Brandenburg
.
From 1613 to 16x7 he served in the See also:Swedish See also:army under Gustavus See also:Adolphus, took See also:part in the See also:Russian \See also:Var, and afterwards fought against the See also:Turks in the service of the See also: During the Liitzen See also:campaign, Arnim was operating with success at the head of an allied army in See also:Silesia . In the following See also:year he was under the hard See also:necessity of opposing his old friend in the field, but little was done by either; the complicated political situation which followed the See also:death of Gustavus at See also:Lutzen led him into a renewal of the private negotiations of the previous year, though he did nothing actually treasonable in his relations with Wallenstein . In 1634 Wallenstein was assassinated, and Arnim began at once more active operations . He won an important victory at See also:Liegnitz in May 1634, but from this See also:time he became more and more estranged from the Swedes . The See also:peace of See also:Prague followed, in which Arnim's part, though considerable, was not all-important (1635) . Soon after this event he refused an offer of high command in the See also:French army and retired from active See also:life . From 1637 to1638 he was imprisoned in See also:Stockholm, having been seized at Boytzenburg by the Swedes on suspicion of being concerned in various intrigues . He made his See also:escape ultimately, and returned to Saxony . Arnim died suddenly at See also:Dresden in 1641, whilst engaged in raising an army to See also:free German See also:soil from See also:foreign armies of all kinds . (See See also:THIRTY YEARS' WAR.)
