Im November 1812 wurde er als „vierter ordentlicher Professor" an die Hohe Landesschule Hanau berufen. Seine Lehrtätigkeit in den Fächern Deutsch, alte und neue Geschichte, Poetik und Rhetorik sollte er zum 1. Februar 1813 beginnen. Rückert verließ die Stadt jedoch schon Ende Januar 1813 wieder, wohl wegen der allgemein angespannten politischen Situation im Großherzogtum Frankfurt zur „Franzosenzeit". Er wohnte im Haus der Familie Roessler, Rosengasse 27/Ecke Paradeplatz. Das Gebäude wurde am 19.3.1945 wie die gesamte Innenstadt durch einen alliierten Luftangriff zerstört.
