I suppose these are somewhat rare names. Just how common are surnames ending in "er" these days in poland?

example: Treder , Szulfer

szulfer seems to be a Jewish name as there were many Jews among the Kashubs in Poland.

Maybe, but not only. My grand grand father was from £ód¼ and as you may know it was in Russian not Austrian part of Poland. Yes I know there are a lot of Mitzners all around the globe, but in Poland only my family (4 people).

This year's awards went to Stefan Chwin for the novel Esther (see review below), Piotr Mitzner for poem collection Myszoser and Joanna Pollakowna for essay collection Glina i swatlo (Clay and Light).

Piotr Mitzner's poetry is characterized by numerous metaphors, unusual endings and lingusitc experiments, all of which helps him to write disturbing poems creating atmosphere of restlessness.
I can find many more Mitzner in Poland...........

Treder is a polish/ kaszub name not jewish. A short search show this. Franciszek Treder organized the Kaszub museum in Kartuzy. It's also a fairly common name in the kaszuby reigon of poland.
