In the following years, Bernhard von Scheibler was mainly occupied with the administration of his numerous estates, including the manor Haus Hülhoven in Heinsberg, Gut Muthagen in Geilenkirchen (acquired in 1873) and Haus Neuhaus in Lontzen (built 1872/73) with the associated estates Groß- and Klein-Neuhaus, Fossey and Bovendrisch in the Eupen district and Menzerath in the Monschau district.

In 1887 Scheibler had a stone cross erected on a viewpoint high above the southern end of the Obersee of the Rur dam between Einruhr and Dedenborn to commemorate an earlier visit by King Friedrich Wilhelm IV. In Monschau . When the then district administrator and owner of the wooded area Scheibler led the king there, he was very impressed by the facility. Despite being destroyed several times, the cross still exists today and still stands on the original base from 1887.

The Scheibler Wappenbuch (Bayerische Staatsbibliothek Cod.icon. 312 c) is named after the family of the Barons von Scheibler auf Hülhoven , which was created as a handwritten coat of arms in the 15th to 17th centuries and was in private ownership of the family until 1971 .

For his numerous services, von Scheibler was awarded the Knight's Cross of the Duke of Saxony-Ernestine House Order , First Class, as well as the war memorial 1870/71 for non-combatants.
