Borowski was born in Rehsau in the East Prussian district of Angerburg (today the village belongs to the municipality of Węgorzewo (Angerburg) in Poland as Rydzówka ). After elementary school he trained as a locksmith and plumber. After the turn of the century he worked for the local health insurance fund in Königsberg for a short time . In 1902 he was a co-founder and until 1906 paid board member of the consumer association in Königsberg. From 1906 to 1914 he was its managing director. From 1914 to 1916 he was a soldier in the First World War . Then Borowski was again active as managing director until 1920. Between 1924 and 1927 he was a member of the General Council of the Central Association of German Consumers . After the war Borowski was for many years a member of the board of the SPD in Königsberg and on the district committee for East Prussia. As such, he took part several times in the party congresses of the SPD throughout the Reich.

In the Reichstag election of 1912 , he ran in vain for the Reichstag . Borowski was a city ​​councilor in Königsberg between 1914 and 1918 and temporarily acting Lord Mayor during the November Revolution . After that he was initially unpaid and from 1920 to 1933 paid city councilor in Königsberg.

From 1919 to 1921 he was a member of the Prussian state constituent assembly . He was also Reich and State Commissioner for East Prussia from March to May 1920 after the Kapp Putsch . Because of his less energetic dealings with the monarchical officials of the province he met with criticism in the party and therefore he was quickly removed from office. From 1926 to 1932 he was a member of the Prussian State Council .

After the beginning of the National Socialist rule , he was relieved of all offices and lived secluded in Rudau (today in Russian: Melnikowo, Zelenogradsk Rajon , Kaliningrad Oblast , Russia ). There he and his wife were killed by soldiers when the Red Army marched in .
