career:

Living in the 18th century. Pharmaceutical chemist at Landsberg, Germany.

Roestelia Rebentisch was named in his honour.

 

collections:

Herb. Berl. [B]: 160 species, especially from Malacca (with Herb. Willdenow, purch. in 1818). As Willdenow died in 1812, we may assume that the plants were collected previously. By himself?
