Biography
German politician and a member of the Social Democratic Party of Germany (German: Sozialdemokratische Partei Deutschlands, SPD) since 1945. From 1949 to 1969, Arndt was a member of the Bundestag for the SPD.
After passing his second law examination and promotion in Marburg in 1927, he worked as a lawyer in the famous law firm of Prof. Dr. Max Alsberg. Since 1932, he worked as a judge, but retired in 1933, stating he did not want to join the Nazi Party.
