Life
The Zurin estate, in Ukrainian Цурень Zuren in today's Herza district of the Ukrainian Oblast of Chernivtsi , was located on the right bank of the Prut on the post road from Chernivtsi to Bottuschan .
Corps student in Chernivtsi and Brno
Dobrowolski attended the German grammar school in Chernivtsi . After graduating from high school , he enrolled on June 19, 1920 at the University of Czernowitz for chemistry and physics. In the winter semester of 1920 he became active in the Corps Alemannia Czernowitz. After three fox games, he was reciprocated in the summer semester of 1921 . He was a successful sub-senior and fought three corps boy parts, including a contrahage against a Czernowitz Goth. He fought one saber game each against members of the Czernowitz Jewish connections Hebronia and Heathid. He was in a PP suite against the Corps Saxonia Wien . To study, he switched to the German Technical University in Brno . There he was reciprocated on November 19, 1921 in the Corps Frankonia Brno. After he had distinguished himself as consenior in the summer semester of 1922 , he was inactivated at Frankonia on October 7, 1922 , and a philistine on January 14, 1925 .
Upper Silesia
After graduating from the Jagiellonian University in Krakow in 1924 , he went to Upper Silesia . There he began his educational career at the municipal Kopernikus-Gymnasium in Katowice , where he worked as a teacher until 1931. He then became director of the high school in Königshütte . From 1934 he also worked as a lecturer at the Pedagogical Institute in Katowice. In 1935 he was appointed head of the Silesian Center for Chemistry Didactics . In addition to extensive specialist knowledge, his generation of teachers also had to have extensive knowledge of their region. This also included moral courage and skill. For the younger generation, his professional positions were in a German-Polish area of tension and developed into the basis for Dobrowolski's politically accentuated professional activities. He developed great cultural and political activities in Silesia and became chairman of the teachers' association for middle schools. In addition, from 1926 to 1939 he was in charge of the Society for Polish Theater in Silesia . It is thanks to his initiative that the Wyspiański Theater started special performances in schools to familiarize the youth with the Polish national culture. These activities continued until 1939 and resumed after the war. He was promoted to Dr. phil. PhD and came to the Kattowitz Pedagogical Academy as a professor .
resistance
After the attack on Poland , the first resistance groups and underground organizations formed in Krakow. Regardless of the activities and plans of the politicians, they began to work in September 1939, when the Polish army was still fighting the Red Army in the Kresy . One of them was the "Schlesien" conspiracy group, which von Dobrowolski had organized in the first half of September 1939 under the code name "Smrek". He was co-editor of several newspapers: "Poland Lives", "We will endure and win", "Volksstimme", "Our village gazette", later "Dorfstimme". Wanted by the Secret State Police , he lived underground under a false name from 1941 to 1945. He was arrested and was in Montelupich Prison . With the help of religious sisters of the Cooperative of the Daughters of Christian Love of St. Vincent de Paul , he was able to keep in touch with the family.
post war period
After the "liberation" of Poland by the Red Army , Dobrowolski began his educational work again. He became the first chairman of the Workers' Universities in Silesia. He organized schools in Gleiwitz, Königshütte and elsewhere. He became vice president of Polskie Radio . During this time he was also a member and later chairman of the Silesian section of the pedagogical department of the Polish Teachers' Union of Silesia in Katowice. He became a member of the (communist) Polish United Workers' Party . When a pedagogical college was established in Katowice in 1950, Dobrowolski became active there immediately. He eliminated initial organizational deficiencies (finances, personnel, technology) and was jointly responsible for the positive development and reputation of the school. He was Vice-Rector for over two years . In 1954/55 he became head of the Institute for Organic and Inorganic Chemistry . He participated in the establishment of new institutes, e.g. B. for analytical chemistry . In the last years of his career, he headed the chemistry didactics department . He wrote 70 publications and was the editor of many handbooks and school books. He died at the age of 64 and was buried in Katowice.
