Life
Tiebel studied law , joined the NSDAP in 1933 and worked as a lawyer in Radeberg from 1934 to 1937 . In 1937 he became an employee of the security service of the Reichsführer SS (SD) and a short time later head of the office in Radeberg. It was there that he met Heinz Felfe . Johannes Clemens was his superior as head of the superordinate SD agency in Dresden. From 1943 to 1945 he worked in the Reich Security Main Office , where Clemens caught up with him, and was there employee in Office VI (Foreign Intelligence Service) in Section B 3 and responsible, among other things, for Switzerland .
After the Second World War he initially worked as a laborer. Later he was office manager and from 1949 managing director in a construction company. At this time, after Clemens was released from captivity, he became his lodger.
From 1951 to 1961 he worked for the BND employees Felfe and Clemens, his former colleagues from the SD, as a courier to the Soviet intelligence service KGB in East Berlin .
Together with Johannes Clemens and Heinz Felfe, he was arrested on November 6, 1961. During his interrogation, Tiebel admitted that he had worked as a courier for Clemens and Felfe. He had regularly handed documents to the KGB in a parking lot at 107 km on the Autobahn between Helmstedt and West Berlin. According to Tiebel, these documents were "game material" that was leaked to the eastern secret services for the purpose of misinformation and deception. On July 22, 1963, Tiebel was sentenced to 3 years imprisonment by the Federal Court of Justice for treason and released in 1964.
