He studied law at the University of Jena and was active in the Corps Saxonia Jena in 1891 . As an inactive he moved to the University of Leipzig , which made him Dr. iur. PhD . In 1899 he passed the exam to become a government assessor .

In 1900 he took over the Tupadly (Tupadły) and Bonk ( Bąk ) estates as part of an inheritance division, and in 1902 he took over the management of the Kruschwitz ( Kruszwica , Strelno district ), which his wife had brought into the marriage. In 1904 he resigned from civil service. From 1905 to 1918 he was a member of the Prussian provincial parliament in Posen and from 1908 also a member of the Prussian state parliament.

After the former Schubin district became Polish territory at the end of the First World War , Busse campaigned for the rights of German minorities in Poland. First he became a member of the German Association for the Protection of Minority Rights (Dtb), which was active in the early 1920s ; then he became a member of the successor organization, the German Association in the Sejm and Senate for Posen, Netzegau and Pomeranian (DV). In the mid-1930s he became a member of the German Association in Western Poland (DVW), the successor party to the DV. At that time Busse was in the Second Chamber of the Warsaw Senate, Senator of the Polish Parliament (1922-1935). In addition to his political activities, he was involved as a farmer in the West Polish Agricultural Society (We-La-Ge) in Poznan, of which he was chairman from 1923 to 1935. Coach was known for its breeding of Friesians ( Tupadlyer young bulls ). His father Theodor founded the East Prussian Dutch type on Gut Tupadly; In 1929 he was awarded a gold medal at the Polish national exhibition. The young bulls were sold to both German and Polish landlords, and his level-headed attitude towards the Polish population, whose language he was excellent at, helped him.

In the mid-1920s, Busse lived in Kruschwitz near Strelno. Shortly after the German invasion of Poland began , Georg Busse was arrested in September 1939 and deported to Eastern Poland. Regardless of his services to Polish agriculture, he was so maltreated with stones and buttocks that even confidants did not recognize him. Fellow inmates dragged the unconscious bus back to Poznan . In 1941 Busse joined the NSDAP , four years later he left his traditional home village when the Red Army was on the advance. His trek was overtaken by the Red Army on January 24, 1945 and buses were killed.
