Hans Georg von Arnim-Boitzenburg

Hans Georg von Arnim-Boitzenburg (1583 - April 28, 1641) was a Field Marshal of the Electorate of Saxony, diplomat, and politician.

Arnim was born in the Boitzenburger Land of Brandenburg. After studies at Frankfurt (Oder), Leipzig, and Rostock, he entered into service at the Prussian court at Königsberg in 1612, a post he had to leave the next year because of a duel. He served in both the Swedish and Polish armies, before entering into the army of the Holy Roman Empire in 1624. Throughout the Thirty Years' War, he served as a senior figure in the imperial army.

Arnim dealt the army of King Gustavus Adolphus of Sweden one of its first defeats in 1629, and served with the Saxon cavalry at the Battle of Breitenfeld (1631). In protest at the Peace of Prague, Arnim left the Saxon forces in 1635. He was kidnapped by Axel Oxenstierna and taken to Sweden in 1637, although he escaped the following year. He died in Dresden.
