Summary/Abstract: In the Second Polish Republic there were new administrative structures. As a result of the unification process, central and territorial administrations were created. Territorial administration was divided into government and self-government administration. Government administration was created by general and special administration. A particular organ in the administration of the Second Polish Republic was the voivod who performed two functions. On the one hand, he was the representative of the Government in the area of the voivodship, on the other hand he was the head of the general administration. The character of the authority of the provincial governor and his office, which assisted him in performing his tasks, was presented on the example of the Provincial Office in Krakow of the 1932.
