@Fritz187071 thats exactly it.Hevelius comes from my familiy hevelke, this name was changed into the latin form Hevelius, like all famous scientists did at that time.they spoke german and polish, Jan Hevelius was sponsored by the polish king, thats right too, but Hevelius was of german origin, like the whole town founded by germans. Hevelius should not be polonized.The familiy has german and dutch origins,

@MarcoBocoure Dream on, Johannes Hevelius was of German heritage. It is just pathetic, when Polish nationlists try to polonize not just he history of towns and regions who historically belonged for centuries to Germany but even start to declare there German inhabitants, like well known scientist like Hevelius or Kopernikus to be Polish too just because the Polish lack scientist of any importance themselves. But OK, keep on living in your Polish nationalist dream world.
