Piegza was born in Lazy the son of a coal miner. He worked at coal mining for a time when he was 14. It was in the coal mining colony in Lazy where he first listened to the stories and fables told by coal miners. That experience influenced his future life and inspired his works until 1945.
After the war, he was active in the social life and several organizations before World War II. He graduated from a school for teachers in Cieszyn-Bobrek and eventually worked as a teacher at Polish schools in Trans-Olza — in Lazy, Orlová, Stonava, and after the war in Jablunkov. He was also a principal of schools in Lazy, Stonava, and Jablunkov.
After the war Piegza settled in Jablunkov where he became a principal of the Polish school (from 1945 to 1960) and worked in a local branch of Polish Cultural and Educational Union. He was instrumental in organizing the first Gorolski Święto festival in 1948, which presented the culture and traditions of the local people.[3] Piegza was fascinated by the culture and traditions of Cieszyn Silesia and was a keen collector of everything related to regional culture.
I'm just an ordinary teacher-pensioner who came to like local folklore, so when I write, paint, or photograph something, I do it from my passion, to save the remnants of Silesian folklore and culture from oblivion.
He wrote his works in literary Polish and in the local dialect. His works often focus on regional folklore and regional fables, most often those of the local Gorals. After his death in Jablunkov, the Karol Piegza Small Regional Museum in Bukovec was opened.
