Summary/Abstract: The article discusses the role of the Silesian Voivode as the head of the Silesian Voivodeship Office in Katowice in the interwar period. The author showed the structure of the office and the principles of its work. In addition, she presented the issue of combining school and fiscal matters within the Silesian Voivodeship Office, which wasn’t the case in other voivodships and was resulted from the contemporary political, social and economic situation of the Upper Silesian part of the Voivodeship. The key aim was to defend the Polish raison d’etat in this region and to integrate the Silesian Voivodeship with the rest of Poland. This article has been prepared on the basis of archival sources, acts of universally applicable law, as well as on the literature on the subject, especially of the interwar period.
