congrats on this extremely interesting dagger! You will have a ton of fun researching this
"In deep gratitude and true (steadfast?) comeradery, Ernst Poeck"
So a presentation from Ernst to Loebell, it appears.
Loebell does not appear to have been a very common name during the war. I will check army rank lists and award lists when I get home

Can you show a closeup of the lettering? Looks like it has the gold background. This is consistent, as is the lettering style, with other similar dedications / presentations I own or have seen

Last on this. There are no (active) Heer officers named Loebell listed in the 1939, 1944-45 Ranglisten, or in the Dienstlaufbahnen der Offizieren des Generalstabes, or in the holders of the DKiG. Only one von Loebell, but this would have been written v. Loebell. This is a good sign. Means the name is indeed rare. My guess he will be found among the reserve officers files. There are also no matches in the KIA list, only a few soldiers and unteroffizieren by this name. I also could not find any Ernst Poeck, this faithful comerad of Loebell´s. Looks like you have a nice two for the price of one research project here
