In December 1926 he passed the teaching exams in Leipzig and at the beginning of 1927 went to the municipal high school in Oldenburg as a student trainee . Here he passed the 2nd state examination in 1928.

In addition to his teaching activities, Lübbing dealt with the Oldenburg and East Frisian regional history. With several newspaper articles he actively intervened in the discussion about the reorganization of north-west Germany, which had flared up again and again in these years . He resolutely advocated the preservation of Oldenburg and against efforts to expand by the state of Hanover and against plans to affiliate with the province of Westphalia . To this end, the Oldenburg government even released him from teaching in part from 1931 and appointed him a member of a small commission that was supposed to collect material to defend the independence of the state of Oldenburg. The following year, also of belonging Nazi government Röver employed Commission for the space Weser-Ems on. From November 1931 Lübbing was then employed in the Oldenburg State Archives to be trained in archival management. To this end, he was completely exempted from teaching. After the retirement of the secret archivist Hermann Goens , Lübbing was first managing director of the state archive in October 1932, then its head in April 1933 and archive director one year later. On December 9, 1933, he was also chairman of the Oldenburger Landesverein für Altertumskunde und Landesgeschichte (until 1951) and editor of the Oldenburg Yearbook (until 1963).

On February 1, 1958, he resigned prematurely.

Lübbing published numerous essays and studies on Oldenburg regional history, which were in the tradition of regional historiography of the 19th century and thematically mainly dealt with the Middle Ages and the early modern period . In his popular oldenburg regional history, he tried to combine this with his thesis of a Saxon-Frisian border mark , which he justified with the collaboration of the Frisian, Westphalian and Lower Saxony populations.
