Life
After graduating from the Wilhelmsgymnasium in Munich in 1939 , Weiss studied law at the Ludwig Maximilians University in Munich . He was active in politics at an early stage: He became a co-founder of the Munich Christian Social Union (CSU) and its first local association chairman in Haidhausen . For a time he was also deputy CSU party chairman. He was in close contact with party chairman Josef Müller ("Ochsensepp") and the young Franz Josef Strauss .
Weiss did his doctorate under Wilhelm Hoegner , one of the "fathers" of the Bavarian constitution, first became public prosecutor and then personal advisor to Josef Müller, who has since been promoted to Minister of Justice . At the encouragement of Engelbert Hofmann , Member of the State Parliament at the time , Weiss ran for the election of the mayor of Bad Kissingen against a local in 1952 and won the first free direct election after the collapse of the Third Reich with a good 60 percent of the votes cast on March 30, 1952 . On May 1, 1952, Weiß took up his post in Bad Kissingen as the successor to Karl Fuchs , making him the youngest mayor of his time in Bavaria .

In addition, Weiß was one of the leading personalities in the implementation of the regional reform of July 1, 1972. Ultimately, Bad Kissingen's status as a “ major district town ” is due to him.
