[2] She married Karl Max Otto Gehre who was born on August 23, 1897, and they lived in Berlin in Kottbusser Ufer.

He wrote in his diary, "[t]hey are now wandering about Berlin without homes, are not registered with police and are naturally quite a public danger.

[5] Arndt was helped by Anni and Gustav Schulz of Neu Zittau, Brandenburg, a remote suburb of Berlin.

They grew vegetables and raised chickens that were used to feed the Schultz and Arndt family members who were spread out in the Berlin area.
