Waltz sounds like a German name. Does this mean Hanna Gronkiewicz Waltz's husband is German?

Just curious. I'm interested in people's roots. It's an odd combination though for Poland, a very Polish first name and a very German last name.

This is not very uncommon. Some poles have german last names, some germans have polish lastnames. A german football player comes to mind: Tim borowski - i believe he's german (obviously with a PL surname). In WW2 there were many german soldiers with polish surnames, doesn;t mean their polish. I'm sure if you look up their family trees you would trace their roots to poland. The polish-german border changed many times and populations moved around.

I doubt It. I think that she is half Jewish.

There are quite a lot of German names in Poland, due to the minority, and the past, and maybe the Jews (names ending with "-stein" for example) ;)

she is president of Warszawa elected by its citizens and nobody is interested about origin of her name.
