In 1874 the village came to the newly established administrative district Sulimmen ( Polish Sulimy ), which existed until 1945 and belonged to the district of Lötzen in the administrative district of Gumbinnen (1905 to 1945: administrative district of Allenstein ) in the Prussian province of East Prussia .

358 inhabitants were registered in Groß Kosuchen in 1910. The village expanded on February 17, 1920, when the neighboring village, the Gutsdorf Klein Kosuchen ( Polish Kożuchy Małe ) was incorporated into Groß Kosuchen. Due to the provisions of the Versailles Treaty , the population in the Allenstein voting area , to which Kosuchen belonged, voted on July 11, 1920 on whether they would continue to belong to East Prussia (and thus to Germany) or join Poland. In Kosuchen, 300 residents voted to remain with East Prussia, Poland did not receive any votes. The number of inhabitants rose to 520 by 1933 and was still 483 in 1939.

On June 3, 1938, Groß Kosuchen was renamed "Allenbruch" for political and ideological reasons in order to ward off foreign-sounding place names.

In 1945, the village came in consequence of the war with the entire southern East Prussia to Poland and carries since then the Polish form of the name "Kożuchy Wielkie". Today the village is the seat of a Schulzenamt ( Polish sołectwo ), which also includes Kożuchy Małe (Klein Kosuchen) , and a village in the Gmina Giżycko (rural community Lötzen ) in the powiat Giżycki (district Lötzen ), before 1998 the Suwałki voivodeship , since then part of the Warmia-Masurian Voivodeship .
