Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: APO-ARN
ARCHENHOLZ, JOHANN WILHELM VON (17431812) , German historian, was born at Langfuhr, a suburb of Danzig, on the 3rd of September 1743. From the Berlin
Cadet
  school he passed into the Prussian army at the age of sixteen, and took
part
  in the last campaigns of the Seven Years' War. Retiring from military service, on account of his wounds, with the rank of captain in 1763, he travelled for sixteen years and visited nearly all the countries of Europe, and resided in England for ten years (17691779). Returning to Germany in 1780, he obtained a lay canonry at the
cathedral
  of Magdeburg, and immediately entered upon a literary career by publishing the periodical Litteratur- and Volkerkunde (
Leipzig
 , 17821791). This was followed in 1785 by England and Italien (2nd ed.,
Leipzig
 , 1787), in which he gives a remarkably unprejudiced appreciation of
English
  political and social institutions. Between 1789 and 1798 he published his Annalen der britischen Geschichte (20 vols). But the
work
  by which he is best known to fame is his brilliantly written history of the Seven Years' War, Geschichte des siebenjahrigen Krieges (first published in the Berliner historisches Taschenbuch of 1787, and later in 2 vols., Berlin, 1793; 13th ed., Leipzig, 1892). This
work
 , though as regards the main facts and details it only follows other writers, is still a useful source of information upon the epoch with which it deals. In 1792 Archenholz removed to Hamburg, and there, from 1792 to 1812, edited the
journal
  Minerva, which had a
great
  reputation for its literary, historical and political information. Archenholz died at his country seat, Oyendorf, near Hamburg, on the 28th of
February
  1812.
