About Oberstudienrat
Oberstudienrat [oːbɐˈʃtuːdi̯ənˌʁaːt] (male) or Oberstudienrätin [oːbɐˈʃtuːdi̯ənˌʁɛːtɪn] (female; both abbreviated with OStR; literally "senior councillor of studies" or "senior educational councillor") is an official title for a certain rank of teacher in Germany, mostly employed in state-run grammar schools. An Oberstudienrat is a civil servant who belongs to the höherer Dienst (higher service), a category which is senior to the gehobener (elevated), the mittlerer (middle) and the einfacher (ordinary) Dienstgrad (service rank) in the civil service. An Oberstudienrat is remunerated according to category "A 14", which means a salary of at least some 50 000 € per year, exactly as much as the lower-half Lieutenant Colonels, and after at least two but no more than eight years of service is roughly as much as the lowest rank of judges and state prosecutors. The equivalent title of an official in civil administration is Oberregierungsrat (senior councillor in government administration).
