In 1843 he published the draft of a bill of exchange regulations for the Duchy of Braunschweig , including motifs , with which he wanted to meet the requirements of the trade for a new bill of exchange law. As a result, in 1847, Liebe became a member of the Commission of the German States, which worked out a General German Exchange Order in Leipzig . Liebe was one of the lawyers who created uniform bill of exchange legislation for the German states. The associated esteem for Otto von Bismarck resulted in love being awarded the Order of the Red Eagle First Class in 1880 . In April 1848, Duke Wilhelm appointed him Legation Councilor and the Brunswick Minister of the Bundestag to the German Confederation in Frankfurt am Main . In July 1849 he was sent to Berlin to negotiate the accession of Braunschweig to the Dreikönigsbündnis ("Alliance Treaty between Prussia, Saxony and Hanover") of May 26, 1849. From March 1850 he was a member of the Erfurt Union Parliament , where he was one of the five commissioners who should represent the central authority there. In June 1851, Liebe was appointed chargé d'affaires at the Prussian court in Brunswick . In 1851 he also took over the representation of the Oldenburg government and in 1854 that of the Nassau government. Due to his participation in the contract for the connection of the Duchy of Braunschweig to the German-Austrian Postal Union , he received the Order of the Red Eagle, 2nd class , in 1852 . Duke Wilhelm raised love to the hereditary nobility in April 1855 and awarded him the title of secret legation councilor in April 1857. Von Liebe married Anna (Karoline Luise) Nobiling († 1900), the daughter of a Berlin dyework owner, in February 1857 in Braunschweig.

He was called back to Braunschweig in 1861, where after the death of August von Geysos in December he was appointed a privy councilor and voting member of the ducal state ministry and was entrusted with the management of the finance department.

The fact that the Duchy of Braunschweig was able to assert itself as an independent federal state after the heirless death of Duke Wilhelm in 1884 can also be traced back to Liebes' diplomatic skill.
