Raimund Jarosz is the mayor and president of Drohobych , the owner of a resort in Truskavets , an iconic figure of the interwar "three cities".
Biography
Raimund Jarosz was born in Calvary Zebrzydowska , in the family of county judges Rudolf Jarosz and Maria from Klimensewice. Having lost his parents early, he was forced to work hard. He later studied in Krakow, where he successfully graduated from the Jagiellonian University High School and the Faculty of Law .
In 1898, the future mayor married Emma Zollner. From 1899 he worked in the Mutual Insurance Society , and in 1902 he moved to Drohobych. In 1905, the Lviv financier Edmund Kraszewski lent him funds for the first investment for lending. Later, Raimund Jarosz headed the local branch of the Mutual Insurance Company in Drohobych, specializing in insurance shares of oil companies, which quickly made him rich. The successful insurer was elected to the local county council, and in 1907 - to the city council. In 1909, Jarosz became mayor and headed the Drohobych magistrate, winning the election of Jan Nevyadomsky . His political activities opposed the "wolf group" of Jakub Feierstein.
In 1911 he managed to form a union, which managed the rapidly developing resort of Truskavets at that time. In 1918, R. Jarosz founded the Drohobych Charity Fund. Interestingly, every year in the city of Drohobych near the monument to A. Mickiewicz there was a special booth in which a volunteer from this fund distributed to each poor person 1 zloty from the account of R. Yarosh. For such steps of "open" PR, the local press and the public of "Trimista" fell in love with R. Yarosh for the rest of his life. In this context, a special rise was observed in 1934, when a hospital for the mentally ill was opened in Drohobych at the expense of the Yarosh Foundation. In 1928, managing this union, he successfully held an auction and bought all the shares of the union, thus becoming the sole 100 percent owner of the resort. Efforts were not in vain, as the resort began to develop rapidly, later becoming a health resort, known throughout Central and Eastern Europe and beyond. In 1931, Raimund Jarosz was elected president of Drohobych to replace Leon Reutt , who had held the post since 1919.
In 1935, being too ill to take care of everything, Raimund Jarosz gave Truskavets to his son Roman. In the same year, he was personally visited by the President of Estonia , Konstantin Päts , who awarded Raymond Jaroš the Estonian Order of the Eagle Cross with a second-class eagle. In 1936, on the initiative of the Committee of Citizens of Drohobych and Truskavets, Odnodnivka Truskavetska was published - a collection of popular science works dedicated to the 25th anniversary of his activity.
Raimund Jarosz owned a palace in Drohobych and several villas in Truskavets. With the help of his brother, professor of paleontology Jan Jarosz, in the 1930s he created the Natural History Museum in Pomärki, named after his late wife Emma, which housed a unique collection of flora and fauna (14.5 thousand butterflies and beetles, more than 1,000 exhibits of minerals , several hundred vessels with rare specimens of fungi and moss). Raymond Jaros was a pedant, always dressed in fine clothes and shoes, engaged in charity.
