Biography
Arthur had studied law and in 1911, he worked as a legal aid at the Hanover Municipality. From 1914 to 1918 he became the Senator of Industry, Economics, and Nutrition, and eventually became the director of Hanover Railway Trains Company (Hanover Tramway Museum). In 1919, he was elected as a prosecutor for the German-Hanoverian Party and due to the re-elections in 1924, he was nominated as the mayor of Hannover in 1925.

During the time he was the mayor, the artificial lake, Maschsee was built and the Hermann-Löns-Park and the Herrenhausen Gardens were completed.
