history

Local history

The place is mentioned in 1326 as Lagegarbs and indicates a settlement on or on a mountain (idg. 'Legh': to lay, to lie and in Prussian 'garbis': mountain). As early as 1384, a game house was built as part of a fortification chain on the site of today's Garbno. The actual village was laid out at the beginning of the 15th century on an area of ​​23 Hufen . There were two taverns in the village, the owners of which had to pay interest of four hryvnia , which suggests that business was going well. In 1480 15 Hufen arable land and 6  acres of meadow belonged to the village.

In the 14./15. In the 17th century a chapel was built and consecrated to Saint Anne . The church was heavily rebuilt in the 18th century. In 1785 there were 24 residential buildings in the village and the associated Vorwerk .

From 1874 to 1945 Laggarben was an official village and thus gave its name to an administrative district in the East Prussian district of Gerdauen . On September 30, 1928, the Laggarben manor district and the neighboring village of Woninkeim merged to form the new rural community of Laggarben in the East Prussian district of Gerdauen.

As a result of the Second World War , Laggarben came to Poland in 1945 along with all of southern East Prussia and received the Polish form of the name “Garbno”. In 1970 there were 103 inhabitants in Garbno. 1973 the village became part of the Schulzenamt Silginy (Sillginnen) in the municipality of Skandawa (Skandau) . As a result of the reorganization of the administrative structure, the settlement was part of the rural community of Barciany (Barten) in the powiat Kętrzyński ( Rastenburg district ) from 1977 , until 1998 of the Olsztyn Voivodeship , since then it has belonged to the Warmia-Masurian Voivodeship .

Church building

The Laggarber parish church dates from the beginning of the 15th century and was previously a much-visited pilgrimage site . After the Reformation it was a Protestant place of worship for four hundred years . Today only the foundation walls, part of the east wall and the ground floor can be seen.

Parish

Laggarben was a church village as early as the pre-Reformation period. After the Reformation was introduced , it was connected to Löwenstein (Polish: Lwowiec) in 1554 and belonged to the Gerdauen ( Russian: Schelesnodoroschny ) inspection for several hundred years . From 1773 to 1945 the parish Dietrichsdorf (Dzietrzychowo) belonged to Laggarben as filia . The parish of Laggarben-Dietrichsdorf was until 1945 part of the parish of Gerdauen (today Russian: Schelesnodoroschny) in the church province of East Prussia of the Evangelical Church of the Old Prussian Union .

A predominantly Roman Catholic population has lived in Garbno since 1945 , which is now part of the parish in Lwowiec (Löwenstein) in the deanery Sępopol (Schippenbeil) in the Archdiocese of Warmia of the Catholic Church in Poland . Protestant church members living here are parish in the parish of Barciany (Barten) , which is a branch parish of Kętrzyn (Rastenburg) in the Masuria diocese of the Evangelical-Augsburg Church in Poland .

Manor

In 1371 and 1374, the Prussian Schaffstädt family was mentioned as the owner of the Laggarben farm. This family seems to have lost the estate in the Prussian City War (1454–1466). After all, Christoph I von Schaffstädt was able to win back the estate for the family on April 10, 1545. At the beginning of the 18th century, wild farmer's hooves in Laggarben could be added to the estate. In 1747 Gottfried Bernhard von Schaffstädt died unmarried, with which the main line of the Schaffstädts died out. The Laggarben estate was auctioned and went to Georg August von Troschke for 30,500 guilders . However, he sold the property again in 1765 and different owners followed until Karl Heinrich Jungschulz von Roebern , son of a judicial director in Elbing ( Elbląg in Polish ) acquired the property in 1811 . It remained in the Jungschulz von Roebern family until 1945 , and the last owner, Werner Jungschulz von Roebern, expanded the estate area from 789 hectares in 1895 to 1,170 hectares after the First World War . Most recently it was 828 hectares.

The members of the von Roebern family were enthusiastic hunters. Regular hunts took place in Laggarben, with pheasant hunting being a special focus. In 1927 General Field Marshal Paul von Hindenburg received a four-in-hand horse from Werner Jungschulz von Roebern - a special pride of the estate - with which the Reich President and Erich Ludendorff drove off an honorary front of soldiers on the occasion of the inauguration of the Tannenberg Memorial .

On January 26, 1945, the manor's trek fled, but was torn apart by Soviet fire on the second day. Members of the Jungschulz von Roebern family made it to the west of Germany, where the main line then went out.

The former Laggarben manor house

A small manor house was built under Wilhelm Friedrich von Schaffstädt in the early 18th century. The manor house survived the Second World War - unlike the village of Laggab, which was badly damaged - surprisingly for a long time, but is in a state of disrepair, even if two families were still housed on the ground floor. Apart from the in -timbered way built memory the manor house have expired or been removed.

Economy and Infrastructure

Only side streets lead through the village. The next voivodship road bears the number 591 (former German Reichsstraße 141 ) and runs about seven kilometers east.

About 5.5 kilometers east of the village runs a railway line without passenger traffic. The nearest passenger station is in Korsze, 14 kilometers away .
