Training and activity as a businessman

Matthias Reischle came from a family of craftsmen in Augsburg. After training as a banker and initial work experience, he worked in Greece for ten years before returning to his hometown in 1845. Anton Riemerschmid recruited him in 1850 for his Munich liqueur factory, where Reischle became an authorized signatory .

Foundation and management of the first commercial school for girls in Germany

From experience in the Riemerschmids company, Reischle gained the knowledge that women were suitable for commercial activities. He convinced Riemerschmid of the idea of ​​jointly founding a commercial school for girls. At that time there were already secondary schools for girls , but none that specifically prepared young women for a practical job with good employment opportunities.

The commercial college for women was founded in Munich in 1862. The express goal was to give women new fields of activity, better earning opportunities and more independence. While Riemerschmid provided space and money for the new school, Reischle became its first director . Until his death, almost 35 years, he carried out this activity for free. The Riemerschmid-Reischlesche Handelslehranstalt, as the school was also called, was not only popular in Munich; Their diplomas were soon recognized as proof of the special skills of the graduates .

Even before the business school was founded, Reischle's interest in pedagogical questions found expression in textbooks , which he developed further during his time as school director.

Matthias Reischle left his hometown Augsburg a fortune of 163,000 marks that was to be used for a business school based on the Munich model; Augsburg's Reischlesche Commercial School was founded in 1905, and in 1914 the legacy was used to build a school building.
