Torsten,

Do your sources have anything to say about the fate of
this group in the West?

Cf.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poland_in_Antiquity

Here:

"At the time of the Suebi tribal confederation led by
Ariovistus arrival in Gaul, a rapid decrease of the
settlement density can be observed in the areas of the
upper and middle Oder River basin. In fact the Gubin
group of the Jastorf culture disappeared then
entirely, which may indicate this group's identity
with one of the Suebi tribes. The western regions of
the Przeworsk culture were also vacated (Lower
Silesia, Lubusz Land and western Greater Poland),
which is where the tribes accompanying the Suebi
tribes must had come from. Burial sites and artifacts
characteristic of the Przeworsk culture have been
found in Saxony, Thuringia and Hesse, on the route of
the Suebi offensive."
