[3] His father died when he was six years old: his education was taken care of by his uncle, Stanisław Warmiński, a well-known and respected physician of the city.

[2] After a first successful semester, Warmiński went to Berlin, where a large Polish studying diaspora was present, to continue his education.

Already in 1903, he contributed to the establishment of a building company aiming at purchasing real estate for Polish social and cultural associations.

Local journal "Dziennik Bydgoski" reports that the young student was provoked by insults thrown towards Poles by professor Schuman, from the Humboldt University.

[3] Before moving back to his home town, Emil Warmiński had to complete the compulsory six-month long military service in Berlin.

His house and office were located at 9 Gdańska Street and bore on the building wall for the first time in the city a plaque with a Polish inscription "Doctor" (and not the German Arzt).

Later, he contributed to set up a reading room for women, which soon became the largest and most active institution of this type in the Province of Posen.

"Invited to numerous rallies in Bydgoszcz, Gniezno, Inowrocław, Toruń and other nearby villages, Warmiński delivered passionate speeches in defense of the endangered Polish peoples", as wrote his wife Halina in her diary.

[7] Following his death, the editorial office of the "Dziennik Bydgoski" recalled the figure and merits of the honorable doctor of "Polish hearts and souls".

[11] He was since the 1880s a member of the Historical Society for the Nadnotecki District in Bydgoszcz and actively participated in the work of professional and medical organizations.

[11] In the last 10 years of his life, he regularly journeyed to the seaside zoological station in Naples, from where he brought museum exhibits of the local fauna.

His bequeathed his savings to the construction of a large building for the Hospital for Infectious Diseases at 10/18 Świętego Floriana Street.

The first commemorative plaque was funded by the local Sokół association and unveiled in 1936, on the wall of the Polish House at 11 Warmińskiego street.

[13] In 1959, another commemorative plaque was set on the wall of High School Nr.1 on Plac Wolności, where Emil Warmiński studied.
