Reiz did not habilitate until 1766 with the work De temporibus et modis verbi graeci et latini and was appointed a colleague, in 1772 an extraordinary professor of philosophy. After More 's transfer to the Faculty of Theology, Reiz was promoted to full professor of Greek and Latin as his successor in 1782. Soon after, after the death of the professor of poetry and eloquence Christian August Clodius , Reiz was appointed his successor (1785). In addition to his teaching activities, Reiz was a university librarian for a long time and traveled to Vienna in 1783 to organize the antiques cabinet there.
Stimulus' greatest achievement was the establishment of the grammatical-critical direction of philology by his numerous students, the most important of whom was Gottfried Hermann . Reiz put his main focus on academic teaching, which is why he published very few writings. To this end, he suggested many of his students' projects, such as Gottfried Hermann's study of Greek and Roman metrics.
