Józef Rymer

Józef Rymer (1882–1922) was a Polish and Silesian activist and politician.

He was also a member of the Naczelna Rada Ludowa (pro-endecja) Polish political organization in Germany.

He was the target of assaults and even an assassination by nationalist German extremists (Freikorps); eventually he became one of the leaders of the Silesian Uprisings.

Elected to Polish parliament (Sejm), he also became the first voivode of the Silesian Voivodeship in June 1922.

On December 5 that year, he died of a stroke and was buried at Francuska Street Cemetery in Katowice.
