Life
During the First World War, Weise worked under the direction of Johannes Maximilian Avenarius in the printing works of the General Staff in Berlin. In 1922 he designed the entrance hall of Gerhart Hauptmann's villa in Agnetendorf in the Giant Mountains with Avenarius .
From 1919, Weise worked as a commercial graphic artist, and from 1926 in his own studio in Berlin.

He was also a lecturer at the higher technical college for the textile and clothing industry in Berlin.
In 1936, Weise took part in a competition organized by the German Pharmacists' Association for a new pharmacy logo and received first prize for the Apotheken- A he had developed . Shortly afterwards he was temporarily excluded from the "Reich Chamber of Fine Arts" due to a lack of Aryan evidence from his wife Eva Stern.
During the last years of the Second World War, Weise lived secluded with his childhood friend Karl Hanusch in Freital- Niederhäslich. After the end of the war he worked as an illustrator for textbooks at the East Berlin publishing house Volk und Wissen . He also designed postage stamps, including the first GDR stamp "75 Years of Universal Postal Union" together with Fritz Jacob and a series in 1950 to mark the 200th anniversary of Johann Sebastian Bach's death.
