Life

Reichert joined the Bavarian judicial service in 1887. In 1891 he was III. Public prosecutor, 1892 district judge, 1897 second public prosecutor, 1899 chief magistrate, 1904 district judge. In 1909 he became chairman of the Bavarian judges' association, which he helped initiate. In the same year he became deputy district court director. In 1913 Reichert was appointed senior judge. On April 1, 1914, he was appealed to the Reich Court. In the same year he was called up for military service. In 1922 he became chairman of the German Association of Judges . During his term of office, judicial reforms such as the Emminger amendments or the Labor Court Act fall . With Reichert's election as chairman, he also became editor of the Deutsche Richterzeitung . When the newly published journal “Die Justiz” of the Republican Judges 'Association in 1925 called for the administration of justice in a democratic and republican spirit with the title “What we want”, Reichert replied in the judges' newspaper that this was “what we do not want”, because the law could only ethical and in no way political. This dispute is in the larger context of the dispute between the judges 'associations and here Reichert, as editor of the anti-republican judges' newspaper, was the focus of criticism. His concern was the independence of the judges from political influence. With this ostensibly apolitical stance, he reflected the restoration wishes of the highly conservative judiciary at the time. In this sense, Reichert saw the task of the judiciary: "What the Wehrmacht is externally, the judiciary must be internally". In 1926 he was appointed Senate President of the 3rd Criminal Senate. In 1929 Reichert no longer ran for chairmanship. His successor was Reich judge Karl Linz . Reichert retired on July 31, 1931.

During his studies he became a member of the AMV zu Würzburg .
