Abstract

[Stanisław Majerski and his contribution to removing First World War destruction in Galicia] The author presents the so far unexplored scope of work of the architect from Przemyśl, Stanisław Majerski (1872–1926) regarding his employment at the National Headquarters for Economic Reconstruction of Galicia, branch in Przemyśl, during the First World War. The 1914–1915 warfare caused enormous destruction in Galicia, particularly in the Przemyśl region; after the hostilities had ceased, estimation of the losses and reconstruction began. Based on the materials from the National Archive in Kraków the article outlines Majerski’s work at the construction branch in Przemyśl. Majerski’s work on the reconstruction of destroyed churches in Gorlice, Nisko, Stara Sól, Tamanowice and Żurawica is discussed as well.
