The fact that danzig is in the nation state of Poland today doesn’t mean there were clear cut boarders back then. Kafka lived in Prague, don’t tell me he was Czech
Still, you wouldn’t say that Kafka was born in the Austrian city of Prague, even though in 1883 Prague belonged to the Austrian part (Cisleithania) of Austria-Hungary.

I reread the comment you replied to and you are right. I thought it was “the German guy from Danzig” which would be fine but “Danzig, Germany” isn’t
