Rudolf Steiner
(1861 – 1925)

Rudolf Steiner (b. Rudolf Joseph Lorenz Steiner, 1861–1925) was born in the small village of Kraljevec, Austro-Hungarian Empire (now in Croatia). As a young man, he lived in Weimar and Berlin, where he became a well-published scientific, literary, and philosophical scholar. He is known especially for his work with Goethe’s scientific writings. Formally beginning his spiritual teaching career under the auspices of the Theosophical Society, Steiner came to use the term Anthroposophy (and spiritual science) for his philosophy, and spiritual research. The influence of Steiner’s multifaceted genius has led to innovative and holistic approaches in medicine, philosophy, religious renewal. He is known for the Waldorf education system, biodynamic agriculture, Goethean science, architecture, and the arts of drama, speech, and eurythmy. In 1924, Rudolf Steiner founded the General Anthroposophical Society, which today has branches throughout the world. He died in Dornach, Switzerland.
