Title: Help with one German word
Post by: inor on Friday 14 April 23 19:33 BST (UK)

What, please, is the word before Hermann?
Many thanks.
(I'm guessing that it might be Ferdinand, but I'm not 100% sure.)

Hi inor,

I think it could be Studienrat. (Schoolmaster, senior teacher, possibly professor... We would need a bit more info to tie it down more precisely.)

Best regards,
Karen

In case that's not clear: It is his job title.  :)
