On June 3, 1938 (with official confirmation of 16 July 1938) Grabowen in "Arnswald" was renamed .

As a result of the Second World War , the place came to Poland in 1945 with southern East Prussia and was given the name "Grabowo". Between 1946 and 1954 and 1973 and 1976 Grabowo was the seat of a Gmina . Today Grabowo is a district of Gmina Gołdap in the powiatGołdapski in the Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship (from 1946 to 1965 and 1973 to 1975 Białystok Voivodeship , from 1975 to 1998 Suwałki Voivodeship ).

Grabowen / Arnswald district

In 1874 nine rural communities formed the Grabowen district:

Church building

The first church building in Grabowen was built in 1588 and was made of field stones and bricks . The church had a gable roof and the tower was built in 1695. In 1732 the pulpit altar was built .

In 1914/15, the church's equipment was destroyed by vandalism by Russian soldiers. Extensive restoration work ended in 1928, during which a new organ was installed in 1925 .

The damage to the church building from the effects of the war in 1944/45 was minor. In 1960 the church was repaired.

For 357 years the Grabower Church was a Protestant church. In 1945 it was expropriated in favor of the Catholic Church , which gave it the name Kościół MB Różańcowej .

Parish

A parish was established in Grabowen in 1589. At that time it belonged to the Angerburg Inspection (now Polish: Węgorzewo). Most recently, Grabowen was incorporated into the Goldap (Gołdap) church district within the church province of East Prussia, the Evangelical Church of the Old Prussian Union .

Until 1910, church services were celebrated in Grabowen in German and Polish. In 1944, the parish comprised 38 places with around 4,600 parishioners.

Today there is a Catholic parish in Grabowo, which is assigned to the Dean's Office Gołdap (Goldap) in the Diocese of Ełk (Lyck) of the Catholic Church in Poland . Protestant church members living here belong to the Gołdap parish, which is a subsidiary parish of Suwałki (Suwalken) in the Masuria diocese of the Evangelical Augsburg Church in Poland .
