Joseph Musiol (Polish: Józef Musioł; born 22 June 1865 in Mikołów) was a Silesian politician.
He served as secretary of the Catholic Trade Union,[1][2] as a member of the town council in Bytom,[1][2] and as leader of a local group there.
Musiol served as a deputy in the Prussian Parliament from 26 January 1919 to 22 November 1922[2][3] and argued for the independence of Upper Silesia as a multilingual but unified state like Switzerland.
Around the same time, all local groups in Bytom were dissolved, and in early February 1921, Musiol was excluded from the leadership of his party.
[clarification needed][4][5] After leaving his position as deputy, he became manager of the law office of the Polish-language newspaper Katolik (Catholic).
