In 1906, together with Korfiz Holm and the draftsmen, he became a partner in the newly founded Simplicissimus Verlag GmbH.
Like Korfiz Holm, Geheeb was a member of the board of trustees after Albert Langen's death in 1909, which led the book publisher on behalf of the underage heirs. In 1918 he became a partner in Albert Langen Verlag. In 1924 he left the editorial team and Simplicissimus Verlag GmbH. His successor was Hermann Sinsheimer . Geheeb then worked for Albert Langen literary publishing house.
