In the 1860s, Peschel built up an extensive collection on the poet Theodor Körner and prepared a first treatise on the life and work of Körner. In 1875 he opened a Körnermuseum with his collection in Dresden-Neustadt in the birthplace of Körner, in which Friedrich Schiller had also stayed for two years , which, under the direction of Peschel for ten years, passed into the possession of the City of Dresden in 1885. The museum contained a “valuable collection of historical, literary and artistically interesting objects from the Wars of Liberation and the literary epoch of that time, drawings, paintings, busts, medals, printed matter, manuscripts, the rarest autographs, etc. Like. “The museum was destroyed by the air raids on Dresden on February 13, 1945.

From 1878 Peschel lived in Niederlößnitz in the country house named after his wife at Körnerweg 10 .
