Reinhard Peesch was a member of the Academy of Sciences of the GDR in the field of folklore of the Central Institute for History. In the 1950s he conducted an empirical study of the games that they loved among children and young people in East and West Berlin. From 1956 he documented the Pomeranian fisherman's folklore in a research project founded by Wolfgang Steinitz , Vice President of the German Academy of Sciences and Director of the Institute for German Folklore . This work resulted in Peesch's habilitation thesis Die Fischerkommünen auf Rügen and Hiddensee from 1961 and other specialist publications. At that time, Peesch was considered a leading expert on the traditional working world of fishing and also researched other areas of European material culture .

He was an employee of the Central Office of the Atlas of German Folklore in Berlin. He was director and from 1967 to 1969 acting director of the Institute for German Folklore at Humboldt University in Berlin.

Reinhard Peesch's standard work Ornamentik der Volkskunst in Europa has also been translated into English. The folklorist worked on the series Ethnologia Europaea , which has aimed to strengthen international cooperation in the field of ethnology since the late 1960s. From 1968 to 1970 Peesch was involved in the editing of the Festschrift for the founder of Ethnologia Europaea , the Swedish folklorist Sigurd Erixon .
