Reiners spent the last months of his life in Brühl, where he died in 1907 aged 79. He found his final resting place in the Lobberich cemetery. In honour of the Reiners family, a street was named after him in Lobberich. The Reinersstraße in Kempen, on the other hand, rather refers to the painter C(ornelius) A.
