Summary: Let \(\mathbb{D}\) be the open unit disk in the complex plane and \(\varphi:\mathbb{D}\to\mathbb{D}\) as well as \(\psi:\mathbb{D}\to\mathbb{C}\) be analytic maps. For a holomorphic function \(f\) on \(\mathbb{D}\), the weighted composition operator \(C_{\varphi,\psi}\) is defined by \((C_{\varphi,\psi} f)(z)=\psi(z)f(\varphi(z))\) for every \(z\in\mathbb{D}\). We characterize when weighted composition operators acting between weighted Bloch type spaces are bounded resp. compact.
