I'm not sure but from what I can gather Germanic tribes invaded Poland from the north (it is presumed that the Urheimat of Burgundians was Bornholm) like the Urheimat of Goths was Gotland) - before Germanic tribes people call Venedi lived here (they were not Slavic but neither were they Germanic) - as far as I know it is reflected in archaelogy too

as for German citizenship many people in the Opole region and vicinity have German passports (or at least a status called Deutsche Staatsangehoerigkeit)- they claimed it on the basis that their ancestors were citizens of Germany at some point - so I guess it's possible for you to obtain German passport - you would have to find documents supporting your claim in German or Polish archive (one of my uncles received it back in the early 1990's - there is caveat here the law could have changed since then that I am not aware of)

I have multiple people to reply to in at least two threads now, so please excuse me - what I think of 500+ for rich people - I don't know maybe it's some malicious twist to silence those who oppose it - maybe the law would be deemed unconstitutional by the opposition if it didn't cover every child - how do i know
PiS is exactly screwing up now what? and when you look in the past you see what kind of challenges PiS faced/faces - corrupt ministerial clerks, corrupt judges, corrupt special services - or as Mr Bartłomiej Sienkiewicz once remarked - państwo teoretyczne czyli ch... du.. i kamieni kupa
the good change is in the economy (at least before the pandemy) thanks to wallets of millions of once deprived Poles
