Arnim was born in Berlin on 13 June 1767 into the prominent and wealthy Arnim family.

His maternal grandparents were Baron Franz Jakob von Cramm and Anna Magdalena Wilhelmine von Krosigk. His father was the only child of Abraham Wilhelm von Arnim-Boitzenburg (son of Georg Dietloff von Arnim-Boitzenburg), and Anna Elisabeth von der Schulenburg (eldest daughter of Adolph Friedrich von der Schulenburg).[3]
