The German sculptor studied at the Academy of Arts and drew at the Modellierklasse. He trained as a sculptor in Munich with Erwin Kunz and Gustav Britsch. Geibel worked as a freelance sculptor in Munich with an emphasis on animal representations. In 1934 he was associate professor of ornamentation and modeling, life drawing and applied plastics at the TH Darmstadt. He lived and worked in Munich where he had his own studio. He was a member of the German Artists' Association (banned from 1936) and later a member of the art council of the Darmstadt Artists' Community.

His best-known work in Darmstadt is probably the unicorn fountain erected in Kirchstrasse in 1955.
