From 1923 to 1925 Kubsch attended the state higher experimental school ("Dürerschule"), which he had to leave prematurely "because of political agitation".

In 1935 and 1936 he was with the Reich Labor Service and from 1942 to 1945 a soldier in the Wehrmacht .

In 1945/46 Kubsch was director and author of the cabaret Die Eulenspiegel Dresden , later chief dramaturge of the Gesellschaft für Zeitkunst and until 1950 DEFA dramaturge.
