Riebel grew up as the son of a master baker in Schkölen in Thuringia and graduated from the home high school in Droyziger . In 1957 he began his five-year teacher training course, which was later followed by his doctorate B as a "Doctor of Science" ( Dr. sc. ) At the Friedrich Schiller University in Jena and he went through a regular scientific career as an assistant and lecturer . He became an associate professor in 1980 . In January 1989 he was appointed full professor at the Institute for Sports Science , to which he was a member until 1992. There he was Vice Rector for Education and Training.

Later, in the course of the university's renewal in 1990, his professorship was revoked. However, he was allowed to keep his title. Until his departure in 1992 he was responsible for the General Studies in Sport Science.

After initially athletics was his main focus of activity, he co-founded the women's football department of university sports in Jena as part of his sports science activity and led the club as a manager up to the women's Bundesliga . He was on the board of the FF USV Jena until 2016.

He co-organized the 2001 European Women's Football Championship and was awarded the DFB Merit Pin in 2007 .
