Inhalt:
Hermann Rudolph (1865-1946), an ordinary teacher at an elementary school in Leipzig's working class area Reudnitz, became one of the leading German theosophers for about 25 years. This article focuses on his work as a teacher by vocation in the Internationale Theosophischen Verbrüderung, an esoteric association. He shaped the profile of this umbrella association while mission-izing in numerous public lectures, writing countless publications and teaching the theosophical 'catechism' among the theosophical adherents. In his time he represented a type of teacher that personified a highly dynamic element in the booming alternative religious and cultural milieu. The way he interlinked profession and vocation created a certain habitus (Bourdieu) which will be examined using a sociology of professions approach.
