In 1810, Duke Ernst I wanted an architect who would be sought after for the ducal services and who would mainly have to be practiced in the practical field so that the client's purposes could be achieved in the cheapest way. But if the architect is also an aesthetic building artist, then it is better. The secret conference councilor Christoph Arzberger, who was entrusted with the search, found what he was looking for in 1811 with the chief building director Friedrich Weinbrenner in Karlsruhe , who suggested three students from his private building school, including Friedrich Streib, as suitable. Streib's invitation to a performance in Coburg took place in April 1812. After three months of trial work, the duke initially hired him for a year. At that time he was subordinate to the ducal building commission as a superior authority.

After the end of the year, Streib was given a permanent position in 1813 and became a member of the palace construction commission, of which he was a member until 1830. Since he could not survive on his modest salary, Streib considered running an architectural drawing school for craftsmen . This suggestion was expressly supported by Ernst I. After some back and forth about suitable premises and financial support, Streib was able to found the Friedrich Streibschen Institute for construction tradespeople in the newspaper Hrstens. Show Saxony-Coburg government and intelligence gazette from November 9, 1814. The institute was subsequently run as a private institution benefiting from the state government.

In April 1816, Streib was appointed court architect, but in addition to his work on the palace building commission, he increasingly dealt with urban and rural planning tasks. In 1821 he built new buildings in front of the Coburg Ketschentor. He played a key role in the reconstruction of the village of Lehesten, which burned down in 1822 with the exception of a few houses . In 1829, under his leadership, a new Lauter bridge was built in Neuses to replace the dilapidated previous building. Then Streib was entrusted with various tasks in Königsberg and the neighboring towns of Kößlau and Altershausen .

As early as the end of 1812 and again in 1821, at the request of the Duke, an attempt was made to look after Streib with the management of urban construction. The Magistrate of the City of Coburg rejected this request both times, whereby the disputes between the Duchy and the Magistrate in this matter lasted until 1824. In 1831 Streib was officially promoted to master builder .

The second big city fire in Neustadt bei Coburg (then Neustadt an der Haide) in 1839 fell victim to 179 of the 226 buildings, including the town hall and the town church. Streib was busy for a long time with their reconstruction. In 1844 he built the school house in Watzendorf , the school and rectory in Weitramsdorf and the rectory in Scherneckk . Further school buildings were built under his direction in Beuerfeld, Mönchröden , Fürth am Berg , Unterwohlsbach and Hassenberg .

In 1846 another attempt to appoint Streib to the city council failed. Four years later, when he was almost 69, they wanted to retire. Duke Ernst II, Streib's highest employer since 1844, delayed a decision on this until the beginning of 1852 and only then informed the state government that Streib should be listed in the pension fund with the pension he was legally entitled to. Friedrich Streib did not experience this anymore. He died on April 28, 1852.
