history

The small village called Gabratschen before 1774 and Garbaschen after 1785 was founded in 1548. Between 1845 and 1945 it was incorporated into the Mierunsken district ( Mieruniszki in Polish ), which - renamed "Merunen District" from 1938 - to the Oletzko district - called " Treuburg district " from 1933 - belonged to the Gumbinnen district of the Prussian province of East Prussia .

In 1910 Garbassen had 819 inhabitants. Their number was 815 in 1933 and only 752 in 1939.

In 1945 Garbassen came in consequence of the war with the entire southern East Prussia to Poland and received the Polish form of the name "Garbas Drugi". The now small place is a village in the rural community Filipów in the powiat Suwalski.

church

The predominantly Protestant population before 1945 was incorporated into the parish Mierunsken of the associated parish Mierunsken / Eichhorn in the parish of Oletzko / Treuburg in the church province of East Prussia of the Church of the Old Prussian Union . Today only a few evangelical church members live in Garbas Drugi. They belong to the parish of Suwałki in the Masurian diocese of the Evangelical-Augsburg Church in Poland .

Before 1945 the Catholic residents were oriented towards the parish church in Marggrabowa / Treuburg , at that time in the Diocese of Warmia . Today they belong to the parish in Filipów , which is assigned to the Filipów deanery in the diocese of Ełk (Lyck) of the Catholic Church in Poland .
