August Reinking was responsible for the buildings in Steinfurt's Bagno from 1802 to 1804 . The Neue Wache, executed according to his plan by his successor Christian Teudt, has been preserved. It now serves as a casino for a golf club. He also had the hermitage, ice cellar and cascade.

From 1804, Oberhausen Castle was built for the Count of Westerholt-Gysenberg based on his designs. In Meppen are of him Arenberg Rentei , which is used as a city museum, and the Eingangsrisalit from home Heyl received. He designed a large number of other representative buildings, many of them in Rheine .

From 1811 Reinking was busy redesigning Velen Castle on behalf of Johann Ignatz Franz von Landsberg-Velen and his wife Louise von Westerholt-Gysenberg . Reinking designed, among other things, an imposing classical portico with Doric columns for the house. In Velen, as before in Oberhausen, the architect worked with the Düsseldorf court gardener Maximilian Friedrich Weyhe to combine building and garden architecture.

In 1817 Reinking drew up the plans for the classicistic redesign of the Brünninghausen Palace in Dortmund for Gisbert von Romberg . Again the architect cooperated with the garden planner Maximilian Friedrich Weyhe. The work on the main house and the garden architecture in Brünninghausen could no longer be completed before the architect's death and was continued by Adolph von Vagedes from 1819 .

At the end of 1817 Reinking was again construction director in Steinfurt. He led the expansion of the Lake Bagnose. In 1819, after consulting with Weyhe, Reinking designed paths. His plans to convert Burgsteinfurt Castle in the classicism style were not implemented. The classical design of the house Stapel in Havixbeck goes back to plans of August Reinking from 1819. However, the architect did not experience their realization.
