Thanks Paul.

Peer comments on this answer (and responses from the answerer)
agree  Helen Shiner: I thought the same as you, certainly for the UK, but then I read this: http://www.qub.ac.uk/directorates/AcademicStudentAffairs/Aca... // Another solution: visiting guest lecturer. I meant agree!

  -> I agree that there are such things as "honorary lecturers" as the link from QUB suggests. However, I stick to the view that the German term "Honorardozent" is not the same as an honorary lecturer. "Visiting (guest) lecturer" fits the bill

agree  Michele Johnson: I had the very same thought. Maybe just part-time lecturer? Guest lecturer?
