However, it was the trumpet that captured his heart. He started playing the trumpet at the age of ten and quickly showed a natural talent for the instrument. He continued his studies at the Stuttgart Conservatory, where he was taught by his father. In 1965, Läubin joined the Stuttgart Radio Symphony Orchestra as a solo trumpeter.

Läubin's solo career took off quickly, and he soon became one of the most sought-after trumpeters in the world. He has performed with many of the world's leading orchestras, including the Berlin Philharmonic, the Vienna Philharmonic, and the London Symphony Orchestra. He has also collaborated with some of the most renowned conductors, such as Herbert von Karajan, Claudio Abbado, and Sir Simon Rattle. One of the highlights of Läubin's career was his performance of Johann Nepomuk Hummel's Trumpet Concerto in E-flat major with the Berlin Philharmonic in 1984. The performance was widely acclaimed, and Läubin's interpretation of the concerto was praised for its technical brilliance and musical sensitivity. Läubin has also been recognized for his contributions to the world of music. In 1991, he was awarded the Order of Merit of the Federal Republic of Germany for his outstanding achievements as a musician.
