Studienrat [ˈʃtuːdi̯ənˌʁaːt] (male) or Studienrätin [ˈʃtuːdi̯ənˌʁɛːtɪn] (female; abbreviation StR), literally “educational councillor”, is a German civil service title commonly held by tenured secondary-school teachers, especially at state-run Gymnasien (grammar schools). The post belongs to the higher service (Höherer Dienst) and is typically remunerated at salary grade A 13, which marks entry into this career group. Administrative officials at a comparable level usually hold the title Regierungsrat (“government councillor”). Holders of the title normally teach at the upper secondary level leading to the Abitur, Germany’s university-entrance qualification (often compared to A-levels). Depending on the federal state (Land), the title may also be used for teachers in other school types, including vocational schools. In the former German Democratic Republic, Studienrat was used as an honorary designation for teachers. At church-run schools, some teachers hold the title Studienrat im Kirchendienst (“educational councillor in church service”, abbreviated StR i. K.). These teachers are employed under church law, which in many respects is comparable to state civil-service law. During the preparatory training period (Referendariat), candidates use the title Studienreferendar.
