Bülow returned to Heidelberg in autumn 1892, the spirit of the place whose alma mater Ruperto Carola had awarded him the Venia Legendi . Quote from Max von Rümelin : “ At which he began his academic activity and with which he had fond memories from his youth. “Here Bülow had the architect Jakob Henkenhaf built a two-storey villa at Gaisbergstrasse 81 as a retirement home in 1893 , the style of which is characterized, quote from the Baden-Württemberg State Office for the Preservation of Monuments :“ From a historicizing design that is based on models from country house architecture orientated towards the Northern Italian Renaissance and Mannerism ”.

In Heidelberg, after Bülow's retirement, the following works and writings were created in addition to other works: Absolute legal force of judgment , the right to confess , letters from a stranger on jurisprudence , cheerful and serious reflections on jurisprudence , the end of the right to send files. A Judicial Constitution Question and the Treatise: Lawsuit and Judgment. A fundamental question of the relationship between private law and process .

Quotation from Max von Rümelin: “ There he experienced another period of rich creativity, since his health improved considerably with the protection of energy that was now made possible. The literary activity which he has developed in recent times is larger than his entire earlier production, and that the labor force did not dry up until the end, it is evident from the fact that he left behind a nearly finished work on the genesis of law, of which it is to be hoped that it will not be withheld from science. In the course of the years, however, the complaints of his heart disease had to assert themselves more and more, but they did not prevent him from enjoying happy and happy days with his family. The end that befell him was a peaceful one. After spending the evening playing music with his family, he was found in the work chair in the morning, the newspaper still in hand, asleep. "
