Schloifer had to leave Heidelberg in the late summer of 1810 after tumults in the Heidelberg Senior Citizens' Convention . In any case, on October 9, 1810, Carl Maria von Weber wrote in a letter to Johann Gänsbacher :

"Our beautiful Heidelberg circle has been completely destroyed, most of them torn away and conciliated , Schleifer [Schloifer], Lowzow, the two Starkloffs, including Schreyer and a few others whose names I can't think of, have left Heidelberg."

From this position he became on August 1, 1848 under Grand Duke Paul Friedrich August von Oldenburg, the first constitutional Prime Minister of the Grand Duchy of Oldenburg.
