A catalytic reactor for generating a hydrogen-containing synthesis gas from a rich fuel/oxidizing agent mix. The reactor () includes a multiplicity of parallel passages which extend from an inlet side () to an outlet side (). To achieve a compact overall form of the reactor (), at least in a core region of a cross section through the reactor () all the passages are of a catalytically active nature. In a first longitudinal part () of the reactor (), which includes the inlet side (), the catalytically active first passages have a larger proportion of the surface area provided with a catalytically active coating than the catalytically active second passages in a second longitudinal part () of the reactor (), which includes the outlet side () and adjoins the first longitudinal part ().
