Life
He came from the Bohemian city of Reichenberg. After attending school, he studied German, history and geography at the universities in Prague and Vienna. After successfully completing his doctorate, he worked as a grammar school teacher at various private middle schools in Vienna between 1898 and 1903. In 1903 he was appointed grammar school professor in Salzburg . Already in the following year he followed the call as director of the public girls lyceum Vienna 13 in the Viennese district Hietzing, which was then reopened.

In 1919 he retired from active school service and became state school inspector at the reform department of the State Office for Internal Affairs and Education in Vienna. In 1922, Rudolf Ortmann moved to the department for pedagogical and didactic matters in secondary schools, where he published several reformed curricula. In 1933, at the age of 59, he retired due to his poor health, which among other things led him to a spa stay in Karlsbad . He died six years later in Vienna.
