The smaller crater Pawsey lies to the north-northwest, and is partly overlain by the outer rampart of Wiener.

The southern part of the crater is more irregular, with a wider, uneven inner wall and a poorly defined rim edge.

The rim overlies about half of the heavily worn satellite crater Wiener K along the south-southeast.

Within the crater, much of the interior floor is relatively level, with a clump of small ridges forming a central peak structure near the midpoint.

[2] By convention these features are identified on lunar maps by placing the letter on the side of the crater midpoint that is closest to Wiener.
