After his return he studied painting at the Magdeburg School of Applied Arts and at the Berlin Art Academy . However, after that, Hübener did not earn his living as an artist, but as an employee of a booking office for farmers. He lived with his family on Rottmeisterstraße in Haldensleben. He was friends with local artist colleagues such as Thomas Heinrich Uffrecht and Otto Henning. The painter Heinrich Gans in Ausleben , who later moved to Starnberg , was one of his friends .
