Stanisław Szymański (1862 – April 23, 1944) – general manager of Towarzystwo Akcyjne Zawiercie factory. Industrialist, an activist in the field of education, culture and voluntary causes and philanthropist. ==Life History== Not much information about the personal life of Stanislaw Szymanski is available. From existing sources, it can be learnt that he was born in Kalisz in the year 1862. As a young man, he went to college in Germany, but he finished his studies in tsarist Russia at Saint Petersburg State Institute of Technology with an engineering degree. After graduation, he moved to Warsaw. Further information about his stay and activities in the capital city was not found. Next notes about him appeared after his appearance in Zawiercie where he arrived with his wife presumably before 1895 (the exact date is not known). In the same year, he began building his villa (to this day called The Szymanski's Palace) on the then Franciszek Szymanski street. The name of the architect who designed the villa was Hugo Kudera. Only few years after his arrival at Zawiercie, in 1901, Szymański was elected to a post of a chairman of Rada Nadzorcza Towarzystwa Pożyczkowo-Oszczędnościowego in Zawiercie. And in 1907, he was appointed the general manager of Towarzystwo Akcyjne „Zawiercie” factory and he held that position even after his departure from Zawiercie in 1931. In the same year, in December 1907, he became headmaster and chairman of the teaching staff in a newly built school for children of TAZ factory workers. He was also appointed president of Koło Opiekuńcze Rodziców in a private male gymnasium(1916), president of Żeńskie Seminarium Nauczycielskie (1916), and also president of the local body of Dozór Szkolny in Zawiercie (1919–1931) In June 1910, he stood at the head of the very first Polish Touring Companionship department in Zawiercie, which he helped to establish. Whereas in 1927, he became chairman of an organization which took care of the castle ruins Ogrodzieniec and of other monuments in the region. After granting a city charter to Zawiercie in 1915, Szymanski began his political activity on a local level. In the same year, in April, he was elected to be chairman of the city council, a function which he held for two terms. He was also a member of the city board. He belonged to the Christian-Democratic Party of which he was a leading activist in the region and had major influence in the board of the party in Warsaw. As ''Świat'' magazine stated, Szymanski left Zawiercie in 1931 and went to Warsaw. Again, records about his later activities after his departure are unknown. The last information mentioned his death in April 23, 1944. Stanislaw Szymanski was buried on Powązki Cemetery. 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「Stanislaw Szymanski」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
