Surprising stuff! Actually it may be not a coincidence.
You know, we once had a queen in Poland coming from Italy: You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view.
She brought with herself lot of artists, scientists, customs (like eating with a fork) and even vocabulary which influenced the Polish high culture of that time and some of them exist even today in Polish culture.
So maybe these names of German towns got to Polish through Italian??? It's a small world
