Due to his commitment in his work in such a variety of areas, the University of Groningen later awarded him, usually reserved for scientists. Wiese was involved in several major cases including the disclosure of the SS membership of then-CDA leader Willem Aantjes in the late 1970s, and in the 1990s the high-profile euthanasia case of a woman who had been in a coma for over sixteen years. He also wrote on ocean expeditions by the Dutch research vessel Tyro and wrote about both the first and the last Dutch expedition to the South Pole. After his retirement, Wiese made his debut as a novelist and poet at the age of 82. He was also an amateur photographer.
