People should not be included on this list just by virtue of their last name. Some other aditional connection to Poland should exist, otherwise you will end up declaring that Pierre Littbarski is Polish and Leszek Miller and Václav Klaus are German - which whould be rather silly.

[edit] "Polish-Germans refers to German citizens of Polish descent."

No one calls a German Polish-German just because he happens to have a Polish ancestor. To be considered Polish-German you either have to have immigrated from Poland to Germany or otherwise have strong connections to Poland. Last but not least we should look whether someone sees himself as "Polish German" or not.--217.85.127.78 00:03, 14 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] German Poles

How about German Poles ? --Lysy^talk 17:50, 19 October 2006 (UTC)

Polish minority in Germany and German minority in Poland are much less confusing terms, I think.-- _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus | talk}  19:17, 25 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Info

1.5 million people in Germany has the polish citizenship and the german citizenship, too.[1]

[edit] Famous Polish-Germans

   * Daria Bijak, Gymnast.
   * Miroslav Klose, football player.
   * Dariusz Michalczewski, former boxer
   * Lukas Podolski, football player.
   * Ernst Pohl, former football player
   * Marcel Reich-Ranicki, former literary critic
   * Dariusz Wosz, football player.

So, next to Marcel Reich-Ranicki, only football players, boxers and the like? The article looks strange in general. Most of present-day "Polish Germans" were part of the Aussiedler, so they were formerly part ... of the German minority in Poland. Yes, it's a difficult topic! --DaQuirin 21:18, 12 September 2007 (UTC)
