From 1956 to 1957, he was a senior assistant and from 1963 a lecturer at the Higher School of Graphic Arts and Book Design in Leipzig.

The artist's most important works are mannerist paintings of battles and other historical events involving hundreds of figures.

In those panoramas, the viewer was intended to experience the illusion of observing the events from the center of the battlefield.

Tübke adopted a different concept: he divided the entire canvas into separate scenes showing various events more or less related to the peasant war.

They feature Martin Luther, Albrecht Dürer, Nicolaus Copernicus, and, of course, Thomas Müntzer multiple times.

In these paintings, Tübke brought the rules of socialist realism to ironic absurdity, surpassing Soviet masters in the abundance and meticulousness of details.

In addition to the panorama from Bad Frankenhausen, the artist created over 300 easel paintings, thousands of prints, and over 500 watercolors.

The painting is housed in the Panorama Museum in Bad Frankenhausen, where it has become a major tourist attraction.

The painting is a remarkable feat of artistic skill, featuring over 3000 individual figures and intricate details that capture the chaos and violence of the Peasants' War.
