Jürgen Seibold is married, has two sons and lives with his family in the Rems-Murr district . His first two crime stories also take place there. In Finally he's dead (2007), the Schorndorf police investigated a rural area in the Wieslauftal . Finally the topping-out ceremony (2008) takes place in various new development areas between Winnenden , Waiblingen and Schorndorf.

In Rough Sleeping (2009), Seibold focuses on the corpulent undertaker Gottfried Fröhlich . Fröhlich is investigating on his own in Heckengäu , around Weil der Stadt , as the police do not take his doubts about the natural death of an old lady seriously. The story is about rock music in Swabian dialect and about Swabian cuisine combined with the culinary art of rural women . The book contains various cooking recipes. In Endlich still (2009) a cruelly battered female corpse is found in a corn maze near Alfdorf . As in Seibold's first crime novels, the SoKo investigates inspectors Klaus Schneider and Rainer Ernst . However, in the story, which is about various erotic relationships, a new character appears, the extremely attractive pathologist Zora Wilde .

Jürgen Seibold's first novel Just No Maultaschen is a comedy that was released in May 2010. It is about a ruthless Stuttgart real estate agent who has shed his Swabian roots. An alleged curse of a native of the city, carried out with a pretzel stick , means that any contact with the “typically Swabian” triggers a catastrophe for him. He ends up on the street for a short time, learns to appreciate the friendship of the homeless people in Stuttgart and finally finds the woman of his life with the helpers in the soup kitchen .

Seibold's crime story Endlich Fit (2010) takes place in Backnang . Once again, Schneider and his colleagues and Dr. Zora Wilde comes back into play. Undertaker Gottfried Fröhlich uses his instinct for difficult cases in Seibold's crime thriller Hard to digest . In addition to the plot, it is again about regional delicacies that are served on a Neckar ship , the floating buffet on the journey between Plochingen and Besigheim .

Seibold's excursion guide Band-Wuerttemberg sharp (2011) is not all about savory dishes, such as the mustard from the manufactory in Schorndorf or the aphrodisiac coffee from the roastery in Offenburg . A barber from Winnenden or a falconer from Wolpertshausen-Cröffelbach is also presented and the story of the executioner Georg Friedrich Belthle, whose biography Seibold came across during a visit to the museum in Tübingen , is presented.

In 2011 Jürgen Seibold published two crime novels. In Finally Alone , the inspectors Schneider and Ernst are investigating the murder of an elderly woman in Waiblingen who was killed with a spaetzle press in front of her apartment door in an apartment building . A new character comes into play in Lindner und das Apfelmännle . LKA commissioner Stefan Lindner , who is released from duty , is involved in the investigation into a murder case in his home town of Bad Boll . In Seibold's story, a state official from Stuttgart was stoned with cider apples on a meadow orchard.

Seibold's psychological thriller Kinder was released in spring 2012 and is set at a high school in an unnamed city near Stuttgart.

The detective novel Thoroughly submerged is again about Undertaker Fröhlich , who has since moved to Esslingen am Neckar and is helping the police with their investigations into finding a corpse on a punt . In Endlich Endzeit , published in summer 2012, Schneider and Ernst investigate their last case for the time being. The story is set in the future and begins on December 6, 2012, when a body impaled and burned beyond recognition is found over a fireplace at Ebnisee . A group that believes in the promise of the end of the world on December 23, 2012, has prepared their tent camp for a meeting there.

Seibold's historical novel Der arme Konrad is about the life of the Peter Gaiß family and the uprisings of the common man , called Armer Konrad , beginning in Beutelsbach around 1514.
