Mied wrote poems, stories and pamphlets to advertise the National Socialist ideology .

At the beginning of the 1950s he was one of the driving forces behind the newly founded Upper Austrian Artists Association and its publications.

After the end of the Second World War, various of his writings were placed on the list of literature to be segregated in the Soviet occupation zone and in the German Democratic Republic .

Between 1963 and 1968, based on an idea by Josef Hieß from the right-wing extremist organization Dichterstein Offenhausen, a sanctuary for German literature was set up on a hill above Offenhausen , which served as a cult site for the honor of ethnic and German nationalist writers. In 1998/99 the association was dissolved by the Wels-Land district administration .
