At the beginning of the First World War he was an active lieutenant in the Uhlan regiment "Emperor Alexander II of Russia" (1st Brandenburg) No. 3 in Fürstenwalde.

In the postwar period Morozowicz belonged to a volunteer corps to order then the Good Wuhden at Podelzig in district Lebus to acquire, on which he devoted himself in the years to agriculture. In the years 1932–1933 he also owned the Villa Polzin in Tzschetzschnow (today Güldendorf near Frankfurt (Oder)).

In addition, he was from 1923 to 1928 in the Wehrwolf leader of the Brandenburg State Association.

In 1932 Morozowicz was elected to the Prussian Landtag as a member of the German National People's Party , to which he belonged until this body was dissolved in autumn 1933.

With the National Socialist seizure of power and the synchronization of the steel helmet and the Wehrwolf with the assault department , Morozowicz was appointed group leader in the staff of the Supreme SA Leader in 1933. In the same year he received the title of Prussian Council of State . At that time he was already a member of the NSDAP . At that time the Prussian State Council was a body that met periodically to advise the Prussian Prime Minister - at that time Hermann Göring - on the management of the Prussian state.

In November 1933 Morozowicz received a mandate for constituency 2 (Berlin) in the National Socialist Reichstag . After his fatal accident in a car accident, Joachim von Blücher took over his mandate in the Reichstag on April 3, 1934 .
