At the age of twenty-three in November 1950, as State Secretary for Vocational Training, he became the youngest member of the Grotewohl government . Wießner saw Soviet didactics as a model for the GDR . In 1951, at a meeting of the Central Committee of the SED , he demanded that Philipp S. Oreschkov's findings on didactics in vocational training in the GDR be applied and quoted the candidate for educational sciences from the USSR literally: The "... communication of knowledge, skills and due dates must be organized in such a way that the newly acquired knowledge is based on the previous one and the last acquired knowledge is consolidated by the following ... ". Wießner held the office of State Secretary for Vocational Training until 1954. When the government was reorganized in November 1954, the State Secretariat for Vocational Training was incorporated into the Ministry for Labor and Vocational Training under Minister Friedrich Macher and Wießner deputy to the Minister for Labor and Vocational Training.
