Biography

[edit]

Dekowski was born in Grabowo, which at the time was part of the Löbau district of the Kingdom of Prussia. While attending a Gymnasium in Kulm (now Chełmno, Poland), he was a member of the Philomaths, a secret organization dedicated to learning Polish history and literature. This membership lead to his arrest in 1846, along with other students. He was released after being questioned.[1]

Having studied law in Berlin from 1849 to 1852, he became an assessor in 1859. Since 1861, he was a district judge in Neustadt (now Wejherowo, Poland). At the time he was also elected as a representative of the Polish Parliamentary Group to the Prussian House of Representatives. He would remain a Landtag member until 1867, when he was elected to the Reichstag of the North German Confederation as the deputy for the district of Tuchel-Conitz.[2]

In 1863 he married Anastazja Warszewska, the owner of Robakowo. The pair had four children: Mieczysław, Kazimierz, Feliks, Wanda and Stanisław.[1]

He was appointed a counselor of the district court in 1871, and settled down in Danzig (now Gdańsk, Poland) a year later. There, he practiced as an attorney and a notary until his death in 1876.[3] He was buried at a cementary in Danzig.[1]
