On 3 September 1909, Joachim married Baroness Marie of Liebenberg (née Blich-Sulzer) (1872-1919) in Ischl, Austria.

According to some sources, a previous marriage had led to Wilhelm banishing him by stationing him with the German colonial army in Africa; it is also believed that his resignation was demanded.

I want my hearers to leave my concerts with the feeling that I have furnished them with esthetic [sic] delight and instilled harmony and beauty into their souls".

[2][3] In 1920, Joachim was ordered under arrest by the German Minister of Defense Gustav Noske after he got into a fight with some French military officers.

Although he later denied his actions, enough scorn emerged against him among most of Europe's newspapers to merit the event's impact on his reputation.

[4] In 1926, Joachim accepted an invitation to present his compositions in a series of concerts in leading American cities.

[5] He received this invite after playing in a number of welfare concerts in Berlin, and conducting his own works throughout the previous summer in Central Germany.
