Rudolf Reschreiter (* 1868 ; † 1939 in Munich ) was a German painter .

Reschreiter studied after graduating from high school in 1888 at the Wilhelmsgymnasium in Munich at the Munich Academy with Gabriel von Hackl . He mainly painted using the watercolor technique and was praised for his hyper-realistic depiction of nature. One of his most famous works is the illustration of the Waxenstein ridge from Mathaisenkar . In 1903 he toured the South American Cordilleras with the geographer Hans Meyer and visited the 6301 meter high, completely glaciated Chimborazo in Ecuador . Reschreiter then painted a whole series of “Chimborazo pictures”. Meyer called one of the glaciers Reschreiter-Gletscher , a name that did not last.

His works can be seen in: Alpine Museums, Kempten, Munich and the Alpine Club Museum Innsbruck .
