Starting with travel sketches and culturally historic descriptions rendered in novelistic style ("Memories of South America", Leipzig 1861, 3 vols.; "About Chile, Peru and Brazil", Leipzig 1862, 3 vols. and others) von Bibra preferred to busy himself in his later years with fictional works and developed an astonishing fruitfulness in this field. Of these writings which stand out especially because of successful characterizations and descriptions of beautiful landscapes we mention: "A Jewel" (Leipzig 1863); "A Woman with a Noble Heart" ("Ein edles Frauenherz" was featured in a radio broadcast on 26 August 2006 reading and concert)(2nd ed., Jena 1869); "The Adventures of a Young Peruvian in Germany" (Jena 1870); "The Nine Stations of Mr. von Scherenberg" (2nd ed. Jena 1880); "The Children of the Rogue":(Nuremberg 1872); "Brave Women" (Jena 1876.)
