Biography
The son of Alfried Krupp von Bohlen und Halbach {1907-1967} and Anneliese {Bahr} Lampert {1909-1998} {married 1937-divorced 1941}; Arndt von Bohlen, Lutheran by birth and tradition, famously waived his inheritance in 1966 and thus was no longer the owner of the company Friedrich Krupp AG. Instead, his father created the Alfried Krupp von Bohlen und Halbach Foundation. However, Arndt agreed with receiving a yearly appanage of 2 million DM. Because he waived his inheritance, he was also not allowed to use the family name Krupp, which was reserved to the sole inheritor of the family business.
Despite being notoriously homosexual, like his great-grandfather Friedrich Alfred Krupp, on 14 February 1969, he married Princess Henriette von Auersperg, the daughter of Prince Alois von Auersperg and the Countess Henrietta Larisch von Möennich. The couple had no children. Owing to generous compensation and appanage Arndt was able to live the jet-set LIFE, flying constantly between Miami and Marrakesh. In 1982, he converted from Lutheran Protestantism to the Roman Catholic faith.
At the age of 48 - being an alcoholic for a long time - he died in his castle in Salzburg of jaw cancer. He was deeply in debt.
In his book LIFE, Keith Richards stated that Arndt was a regular party companion in Marrakech.
He died 399 years after the arrival of his namesake Arndt Krupp, the founder of the Krupp family, in Essen in 1587.
