Friedrich Lübker was the son of the Husum compastor Detlev Lorenz Lübker (1773-1852), who became known as co-editor of the Schleswig-Holstein writers' dictionary and raised his only son according to the system of child prodigies of Karl Heinrich Gottfried Witte . Thanks to this support from his father, Friedrich Lübker attended the Primary School of Scholars in Husum at the age of 12 and began studying philology and theology at Kiel University in 1826 at the age of 16 . In 1830 he moved to the University of Berlin , where he also worked as a tutor. In 1832 he was promoted to Dr. phil. PhD. He began his career as an assistant teacher at the Husum grammar school and was the first teacher to change to the Burmester private institute in Bahrenfeld in Altona . After another position at the institute of Johann Friedrich Basilius Wehber-Schuldt in Lauenburg, he became a teacher at the Great City School in Wismar in 1834 and vice-principal at the cathedral school in Schleswig in 1835 . In 1848 the provisional government of Schleswig-Holstein appointed him rector of the old grammar school in Flensburg , where the Danish government deposed him in 1850. He was first rector in Plön because the Danes had not yet received Holstein back. In the winter of 1850/51 he worked in Kiel as a member of the state assembly and in a commission for a teaching law. In 1851 Lübker was appointed director of the grammar school in Parchim . The University of Göttingen awarded him an honorary doctorate in theology at the Melanchthon celebration in 1860 . In 1858 he ended his activity in Parchim on his own initiative and moved to Braunschweig to devote himself to his scientific interests. In 1864 he was reassigned to Schleswig-Holstein to reorganize the higher education system and again director of the high school in Flensburg.
