Life

Reck lived in Moscow from 1886. At first he was a simple clerk in the bank office of N. Wertheim. In 1891 he became managing director there. In 1892 he bought the Russian Bank for Trade and Industry and incorporated the Wertheim-Kontor as a department in the bank. In 1893 he opened a brick factory in the village of Chasovaya ( Ujesd Zvenigorod ).

In 1899 Reck founded the trading and construction company together with the Kursk honorary citizen II Seifert, with Reck as director and Reck, Seifert and AK Luther as managing directors. This new company was the second construction company after the "North Construction Company" Savwa Ivanovich Mamontows , founded in the previous year , which Reck acquired after Marmontov's arrest. Reck invited Fyodor Ossipowitsch Schechtel to head the architecture office of the new company, and after the latter's refusal, Sergei Vladimirovich Sherwood , who suddenly died. The head of the architecture office was now Lev Nikolayevich Kekuschew , who was the chief architect in the Northern Society .

In 1901, Reck founded a cooperative with a share capital of 750,000 rubles for the acquisition (and rental of business premises) in the Nikolskije Rows, built in 1900 by the Trading and Construction Corporation, on Moscow's Nikolskaya Ulitsa opposite the Upper Ranks (now the GUM department store ).

Reck commissioned leading architects to build houses at the expense of the Handels- und Bau-Aktiengesellschaft, which he then sold. These architects were representatives of Moscow modern architecture, the focus of which was Art Nouveau . So built William Walcot the Jakuntschikowa -Villa (1899-1900) and Karl Alexandrovich Gutheil, the son of the music publisher AB Gutheil, Gutheil villa. Gustav Helrich built the JA Reck villa for Reck (1901–1903). Kekuschew built the Ponisowski Villa and the IA Mindowski Villa (1903–1904) and the Issakov house (1904–1906). Ivan Alexandrowitsch Fomin built a villa for WI Reck (1900) at Skatertny Pereulok 20.

Reck acquired large estates in the governorates of Vilnius , Kiev , Minsk , Poltava and Ryazan , which were then divided into small farms according to the approach of the land commissions established on the basis of the Stolypin reforms and sold to farmers via the Kharkov country bank and the state farm bank .

In the mid-1900s, Reck was replaced as director of the Handels- und Bau-Aktiengesellschaft by the entrepreneur IP Issakov. In 1914 the company was dissolved.

Reck was buried in Moscow's Vvedenskoye cemetery .
