Wieland tried successfully to protect people, especially jewish students, who were "racially burdened" after the Nuremberg Laws. Students who were expelled because they were "racially burdened" could stay in the group of Heinrich Wieland as laborants or as "G?ste des Geheimrats" (guests of the privy councillor). After collecting money for the widow of Kurt Huber, Clara Huber, Hans Leipelt, a student of Wieland, was sentenced to death.
