Classification for Klaus Kinski

[Krampus]

I'm curious what sub type you people think the late German/Polish actor Klaus Kinski would fit into. Here's a few links with his picture. Falish-Baltic perhaps?

[Jethro Tull]

Keltic Nordic + Danubian? Personal impression...

[Awar]

I think Faelid ( from what I remember, since I can't open the links right now ).

[Vojvoda]

Birth Name: Nikolaus Günther Nakszynski

Born: October 18, 1926, Sopot, Poland.....Sopot


.......Corded?

[Nordhammer]

Very Neo-Danubian I think. Too small and gracile for Faelid or similar.

[Nordgau]

Birth Name: Nikolaus Günther Nakszynski

Born: October 18, 1926, Sopot, Poland.....Sopot

That information is unprecise and confusing. The name of the town was in 1926 actually Zoppot, and it was part of the "Free State" Danzig.

[Awar]

Sopot is a clearly Slavic toponym, present in half a dozen balkan areas.

[Vojvoda]

Sopot is a clearly Slavic toponym, present in half a dozen balkan areas.

Thee is a Sopot in Serbia,Bulgaria too.

[Nordgau]

I don't doubt that the place name Zoppot of that town is of Slavic origin. Nevertheless the name of this town was pre-1945 Zoppot, and also it wasn't in Poland in that time. Saying that he was born in "1926, Sopot, Poland" would be similar as if one said that Kant was born in "1724, Kaliningrad, Russia".

I also don't, according to his name, doubt that Kinski was at least partly in paternal line clearly of Polish origin. I don't know anything about his backound or childhood. As he was named Nikolaus Günter, his parents seemed at least have counted themselves to the German folk group (ca. 97% of the population of the Danzig Free State).
