Summary/Abstract: This paper focuses on the life and work of Rudolf Strohal in Bjelovar between 1892. and 1895. In the first part of the paper the goal of authors was to present Strohal’s pedagogic work in Bjelovar gymnasium (high school) and in the second part the goal was to familiarize readers with his professional and scientific work as well as with his publications. The paper relies on the analysis of archival material, articles from a local weekly newspaper and published works either authored or translated by professor Strohal in his years working in Bjelovar. For research purposes authors also used critical reviews of his work and relevant results of historiographic research. Preserved materials show that Strohal made a significant contribution to educational work in Bjelovar at the end of the 19th century. Because this phase of his work has not yet been carefully analyzed, this work also contributes to better understanding of Strohal’s professional work and life as a whole.
