From 1929 he worked as a teacher at the Waldorf School in Essen, first, then from 1930 in Stuttgart and from 1934 in Vienna, as an editor for the journal Art Education. In 1939, Hiebel emigrated to the United States and for the next seven years was in New York as a Waldorf teacher and editor of Education as an Art, then worked as a lecturer and professor at several universities.
