After Kreischer learned of the intended establishment of the Zwickau mountain school , the mine candidate applied for the teaching position on January 6, 1862, while he was still on his practical course. In his letter, Kreischer stated that he wanted to continue the teaching profession he had already practiced and that the academic study time was aimed at teaching the technical subjects. From several applicants, Kreischer was appointed first main teacher by the Bergschulcomité and at the same time he was given the management of the Bergschule with an annual fixed remuneration of 600 thalers, which began teaching in October 1862.
