Andrzej Kusionowicz Grodyński (22 October 186124 July 1925), baptized as ''Andrzej Szymon Kusionowicz'', was a Polish lawyer who worked as a Silesian circuit judge based in Cieszyn for much of his career. ''Kusionowicz'' was also the editor of ''Gwiazdka Cieszyńska'' from 1889 to 1890. An associate of , who founded ''Gwiazdka Cieszyńska'', he was also a friend of with whom he shared the early vision of Cieszyn Silesia joining Galicia in a new Polish state independent of Austrian rule. On 7 September 1906 ''Kusionowicz'' changed his surname to ''Grodyński'' and was later appointed President of the Silesian Court of Appeal in Katowice. Following World War I he represented the Polish High Court in Kraków for the legal transitioning of Silesia into the newly independent Poland.〔Krzyżanowski 2011, 83.〕 ==Early years== One of a large number of children of Sylwester and Anna (née Krężołek), Andrzej was born in Gdów, Galicia, Poland, where his father was the local school teacher, as well as the church organist, and his father's "uncle", Ludwik Kusionowicz, was the parish priest.〔Radzikowski 1904, 115.〕 He was raised in Western Galicia but following the death of his father on 4 July 1877, when Andrzej was only fifteen, his elder brother Józef, a notary in Milówka, became his legal guardian. After completing his schooling he attended universities in Kraków, Graz and Vienna, then moved to Cieszyn Silesia due to his keen interest in Polish affairs centred in that region. In 1887 "Jędrzéj" became a member of the which was an important Polish cultural society that facilitated public access to reading materials〔Pamiętnik Czytelni Ludowéj w Cieszynie, 35.〕 and political interest that had been furthered in his university studies was expressed through his editorship of ''Gwiazdka Cieszyńska'', from 12 January 1889 to 7 June 1890. This culminated in a nationalistic call for Polish Catholics and Polish Protestants to work together in selecting and voting for candidates in the forthcoming elections for the Silesian Parliament.〔Gwiazdka Cieszyńska 1890, 43#23.〕 Although the Sejm at the time was dominated by German representatives, this was a controversial plea given that the publisher of ''Gwiazdka Cieszyńska'' from 1889 was the Katolickie Towarzystwo Prasowe (Catholic Press Society). On 14 June 1890 fr Józef Londzin, in his first editorial on taking over from ''Kusionowicz'', made no direct reference to this patriotic call by his predecessor but informed readers that he had been entrusted by the ‘Catholic hierarchy’ with the publication’s editorship before then making his own plea for the Polish nation and people of Silesia to guard against the forces of liberalism and Germanisation.〔Gwiazdka Cieszyńska 1890, 43#24.〕 While ''Kusionowicz'' was the editor, ''Gwiazdka Cieszyńska'' had continued to espouse the ideals of Paweł Stalmach in advocating support of many social causes ranging from improving the welfare of the poor to progressing literacy and education levels, especially among the ethnic Poles in Silesia and Galicia. Andrzej also worked as secretary of the , of which Stalmach was the President, and completed his studies for a doctorate of law from Jagiellonian University on 14 July 1891.〔Dziennik Śląska Cieszyńskiego 1925, XXII#161, 3.〕〔Gwiazdka Cieszyńska 1925, 78#58, 3.〕 That same year he participated with , , , Antoni Dyboski, , Szczepan Chrapek, Mieczysław Kopciński, Bolesław Rzepecki and Maryan Lanikiewicz in setting up the Cieszyn branch of Sokół (Falcon).〔Dziennik Cieszyński 1910, V#253.〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Andrzej Kusionowicz Grodyński」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
