My next direction was to try to trace Wroblicius after he disappears from Kojetin - as I speculate, due to the Bohemian Revolt. Remembering that he is attested as of Silesian origin in the university registers, it is reasonable to assume that he (a Catholic) temporarily escaped to his native regions. Through the internet search, no appropriate mentions of Albert Wroblicius are found for this period. However, while in Poland, he quite probably was not called by his latinized name of "Wroblicius", but by his native, presumably slavonic name. I imagine it could have been something like "Wrobl-" - ending with some typical Slavonic suffix, like Wroblicek, Wroblik or the like. In the meantime, I was only able to find a reference (in the Polish book about the history of the church of the Holy Trinity and St. Anne in Prostyn mentioned in another thread) to one Albert Wroblewski, who is mentioned under the year 1621 (see p. 378) among "koscielni" (which I think means sacristans), while, as the book suggests, in the original historic records (registers of the baptized) he is called "campanator" and "claviter" (which I don't know the meaning of).

However, the problems with this are, firstly, that Prostyn is not Silesia at all, it's in Masovia, still north east to Warsaw, and, secondly, that it is, I think, unlikely that a priest with a bachelor's degree would serve as a sacristan, even in straits. So most likely Albert Wroblewski is another person.

The question of whether his "native" name was Slavonic, is, of course, open. The first name of "Albert" likewise hints something Germanic, like "Wrobbel" or something.
