Life

Members of the Reichstag (1st row - sitting from left to right: Letocha, Dr. Windthorst, Graf v. Chamaré, Dejanicz v. Gliszczynski, Horn 2nd row - standing from left to right: Graf v. Praschma, Schmieder, Dr. Porsch, Dr. Fr. Heereman v. Zuydwyk, Szmula )

Szmula was a professional soldier in the Prussian Army from 1849 to 1871 . Most recently he was the major director of the war school in Anklam . After retiring in 1872, he moved to Silesia to his Upper Silesian manor Friedewalde in the Grottkau district . He was also head of office.

Politically, Szmula belonged to the Center Party. Between 1886 and 1903 he was initially a member of the Prussian House of Representatives for the constituency Oppeln 5 Beuthen-Tarnowitz , from 1894 to 1903 he represented the constituency Oppeln 2 Landkreis Opole . Last but not least, he represented the interests of the large landowners in the Prussian parliament. For example, in 1899 he brought in an interpellation "regarding the lack of rural servants and agricultural workers" . In 1893, however, the election committee in Bytom refused to stand for the Reichstag because, as an “ardent defender of the Silesian Poles” and confidante of Adam Napieralski (1861–1928), he had refused to speak out publicly against the “Polish agitation” in Upper Silesia. He was also a member of the Reichstag from 1887 to 1907 .
