In the 18th century lots of Dutch people were invided to work in Brandenburg, the region around Berlin. Many of them stayed there.
In Potsdam, Berlin's neighbour city lots of buildings remind of the Dutch heritage. Some streets look just like Amsterdam.
So it's pretty common for someone in Berlin to have a Dutch name. In Holland Van Dijk is just as normal as Johnson in the US.
One thing: Van Dyk is his artist name, not his real name (Matthias Paul)
PvD is German, not Dutch in any way
