Erich Wiese (30 August 1891 – 24 November 1979) was a German art historian and museum director.
In 1920, he received his doctorate from the Friedrich Wilhelm University of Silesia in Wrocław with a thesis entitled Die Breslauer Holzplastik von ihren Anfängen bis zum Ausgang des weichen Stils.
In 1929, he became director of the museum,[3] which he continued to expand to include works by expressionist artists such as George Grosz and Otto Dix.
After his release, Wiese moved to Hirschberg in the Giant Mountains (now Jelenia Góra), where he worked as a private scholar and ran an antiquarian bookshop.
After the end of World War II, he left Silesia in 1945 and settled in Auerbach (Bensheim) after living in Bavaria for a short time.
