Life
After attending the St. Michael college , Weck studied law at the University of Freiburg im Breisgau and at the law faculty of the newly founded University of Freiburg in Switzerland. In the years from 1893 to 1898 he was senior bailiff of the Gruyère district at a time when the conservatives in this district were dependent on reinforcements.

On October 30, 1898, he was elected as the successor to the late Paul Aeby to the Grand Council of the Sense District.
Political career
Elected to the State Council on June 2, 1900, he succeeded Henri Schaller at the head of the police department. After modernizing their departments, he used the resignation of Charles Weck in 1906 to take over the judiciary. In 1909 he was President of the State Council. He worked on the implementation law for the Swiss Civil Code passed by the Federal Parliament in 1907 . His illness, which some attributed to the heavy workload, forced him to apply for leave in 1911 while his bill was being debated in the Grand Council. Since his health did not improve, he submitted his resignation from the State Council on November 12, 1912, but was still active in the Grand Council according to his strength.
In the military he was a captain in battalion 16 and then commander of the Landwehr battalion 106 with the rank of major .
