Live and act

Strzoda was born the son of a Catholic farm owner in Silesia. After attending elementary school and high school - up to high school - in Leobschütz , he worked in agriculture. He later belonged to the Kaiser-Franz-Garde-Grenadier-Regiment in Berlin, before he took over the business of his parents in the Silesian district Deutsch-Müllmen in 1880. Over the years Strzoda took part in the establishment of the Silesian Farmers' Association, a sugar factory and a dairy. In addition, he took over the office of the calculator at a savings and loan fund in Hagel and that of an agricultural appraiser.

Politically, Strzoda began to get involved during the empire in the Catholic Center Party , in which he belonged to the Polish party wing. In 1894 he moved to the Berlin Reichstag for the first time , to which he belonged without interruption until the collapse of the monarchy in November 1918 as a representative of the constituency of Opole 10 (Neustadt in Upper Silesia). In addition, Strzoda was a member of the Prussian House of Representatives from 1899 to 1908 .

In January 1919 Strzoda was elected to the Weimar National Assembly, to which he belonged until the first Reichstag of the Weimar Republic met in June 1920 as a representative of constituency 10 (Opole). Then he retired into private life.
