Otto,
you made a pretty tour d'horizon, but this one - oh no! You probably 
thought of the castles Hoheneck, Rheineck, Stolzeneck etc., named in the 
early middle ages. Better think of the 323 hits of SIEMIONEK in 
www.herby.com.pl/herby/indexslo.html , 105 of them in the siedleckie 
(Siedlce), 78 in the bialskopodlaskie (Biala Podlaska) and 68 in the 
lubelskie (Lublin) wojewodztwo in eastern Poland! Can you relly imagine 
a German castle in this region? By the way, if a personal name is 
combined with "Eck", it must be in genitive -> Simeonseck: it was really 
a restaurant at Simeonsplatz in Minden - but it is gone.

In Polish -ek means "the little one". When Siemion was the name of 
father and son, the latter was called Siemjonek. The name SIEMION has 
866 hits, centered in the suwalskie (Suwalki) and bialostockie 
(Bialystok) wojewodztwa in northeastern Poland and followed by the 
lubelskie (Lublin again).
