About Arndt Friedrich Alfried von Bohlen und Halbach
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 famously waived his inheritance in 1968 and thus was no longer the owner of the company "Fried. Krupp." Arndt used his collective inheritance of around 3 billion DM from his father Alfried Krupp von Bohlen und Halbach to create the "Alfried Krupp von Bohlen and Halbach Foundation". However, the foundation decided to honor Arndt with 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.
On February 14, 1969 he married Princess Henrietta von Auersperg, the daughter of Prince Alois von Auersperg and the Countess Henrietta Larisch von Möennich. Despite this, Arndt was notoriously homosexual.[citation needed] Due to generous compensation and appanage Arndt was able to live the jet-set life, flying constantly between Miami and Marrakesh. At the age of 48, he died in his castle in Salzburg of jaw cancer. He was deeply in debt.
