In 1939, Hiebel emigrated to the United States and for the next seven years was in New York as a Waldorf teacher and editor of Education as an Art, then worked as a lecturer and professor at several universities. In 1945 Hiebel married the sculptor Beulah Emmer. They had two children.[1]
In 1961, Hiebel moved with his family to Dornach, Switzerland where in 1963 he became a member of the board of the Anthroposophical Society and was appointed Albert Steffen's successor as head of the Arts and Humanities Section at the Goetheanum.
