Life

After his father had to give up the restaurant in 1935, he grew up in simple circumstances in the Bahnhofsviertel with a brother three years younger than him. After graduating from high school, he left his hometown and studied in East Berlin in 1951 as an interpreter for English, German and film scenarios. From 1952 to 1953 he was an editorial assistant at the Volk und Wissen publishing house , from 1953 to 1956 an editor at the Volk und Welt publishing house and from 1959 to 1960 an editor at the Eulenspiegel publishing house . Since 1964 he has worked as a freelance writer as a playwright, film and radio play author and has written texts for various cabarets, among others. a. for the thistle . He regularly wrote theater reviews for the "Theater-Eule" in the magazine Eulenspiegel and short stories.

After the death of his wife in 2014, he lived very withdrawn and died in October 2016 in the district of Klosterfelde belonging to the municipality of Wandlitz.

reception

A popular figure of Wiesner is the hairdresser Wilhelm Kleinekorte, who humorously talked about political and general problems in Eulenspiegel during fictional "hairdressing stories". Kleinekortes trademark was the native Berlin dialect, whereby he preferred to use those foreign words whose exact pronunciation he did not know, but assigned their meaning with apt ambiguity. A “reduction cure” then became, for example, an “editorial cure” etc. The greeting from Kleinekortes literally became: “Neh'm Se Platz, Mr. Jeheimrat! What's new on the building? Had a night shift again? ”The popularity of his character earned Wiesner a supporting role as a hairdresser in the children's film Kai out of the box in 1988 .

His greatest successes include the ideas and scripts for the television series Spuk unterm Riesenrad , Spuk im Hochhaus und Spuk aus Outside , and he was also involved in numerous scripts for cinema and television films (including Signals - A Space Adventure , Stülpner Legend and three episodes of Police call 110 ).
