ARNIM, LUDWIG ACHIM von. - German writer b. in Berlin on 26 January 1781, d. at Wiepersdorf on 21 January 1831. He was one of the most prominent figures of the Heidelberg Romantic group and collaborated with Brentano, his future brother-in-law, on the collection of German folk songs: Des Knaben Wunderhorn (The Boy's Magic Horn). A novelist and writer of novellas rather than a lyric or dramatic poet, he gave in Die Kronenwächter (The Crown Guardians) and in Isabella von Ägypten a lively picture of German life at the time of the Reformation. His drama Halle und Jerusalem is interesting. A Prussian nobleman, and therefore a rigid and intransigent Protestant, if he allows himself to be tempted by the mysteries of nature and of the unconscious, he reacts against the mysticism then in fashion, nor does he follow his bosom friend Brentano on the path of Catholicism. He was the founder, in 1810, of the Christian-German Society (Christlich-deutsche Tischgesellschaft).
