In 1823 he became a professor of mathematics and physics at the agricultural and forestry academy in Hohenheim , where he taught until his retirement in 1864. In 1850 he became a teacher and in 1852 a senior teacher. In 1862 he received the personal nobility with the award of the Knight's Cross of the Order of the Württemberg Crown .
He published on mathematical and financial aspects of forestry, agriculture, conic sections and other geometric topics (such as imaginary quantities in geometry) and astronomy.
Leopold Sokrates von Riecke , professor of surgery and obstetrics in Tübingen, and Gustav Adolf Riecke , rector of the teacher training seminar in Esslingen, were his brothers.
