Gerhard Wiese was born in Berlin on August 26, 1928. Deployed as an anti-aircraft assistant, he was taken as a prisoner of war by the Soviets. He was released in 1946. Subsequently, he studied law in Berlin and Frankfurt (Main). He passed his state examination and then worked as a state prosecutor, first in Fulda and as of 1961 in Frankfurt. Starting in 1962, Gerhard Wiese participated in the preparation and the conduct of the proceedings against Mulka and others (4 Ks 2/63), the so called First Frankfurt Auschwitz trial. With the prosecutors Vogel and Kügler, he pressed charges and drafted the indictment against Oswald Kaduk and Wilhelm Boger. In 1966, he observed the trial against the Auschwitz-Monowitz concentration camp physician Horst Fischer in East Germany. In 1971, Gerhard Wiese became chief prosecutor. In 1989, he was promoted to head of the prosecution at Frankfurt (Main). The pre-death legacy consists of documents from Wiese's work for the prosecution at the Landgericht Frankfurt (Main). The records mostly are related to his participation in the penal proceedings against Mulka and others (4 Ks 2/63).
