In 1838 he returned to his hometown of Celle and wrote here for various North German "newspapers political and literary correspondence, provided reviews and novellist contributions".

In 1842 Goedeke moved to Hanover , began a close friendship with Heinrich Wilhelm Hahn and - even if he was temporarily forced to leave Hanover - published several works at the Hahnsche Verlagbuchhandlung , including the first biography about Baron Adolph Franz Friedrich Ludwig Knigge .
