Kózki ( German  Kosken ) is a village in the Polish Warmia-Masurian Voivodeship , which belongs to the Gmina Biała Piska ( town and country municipality Bialla , 1938 to 1945 Gehlenburg ) in the powiat Piski ( Johannisburg district ).

Geographical location

Kózki is located in the south-east of the Warmia-Masurian Voivodeship, 18 kilometers south-east of the district town of Pisz ( German  Johannisburg ).

history

The area around Schoschken was settled as early as 1471 . As a small village it is only since 1484, it was but this year than Freigut ten hooves from the Teutonic Knights of Magdeburg Law rights established. The place names were Kostken (after 1471), Koschke (after 1579), Koszken (after 1785) and Kosken (until 1945).

In 1874 the rural community Kosken was incorporated into the newly established district of Morgen . Included in the headquarters district and the neighboring towns were Itzken (Polish Idźki ) and Niegossen (Polish Niegosy ), but before 1908 gave up their independence and were integrated into the community Kosken.

Itzken / Idźki

The small town is located southwest of Itzken Kosken and was 1471 Freigut ten hooves as Kosken the Teutonic Knights established, consisted of a few small farms and was even after 1540 Jezken called. The place existed until 1945 as a locality of the Kosken municipality and was given up after 1945 at an undisclosed time or was merged into the village of Kózki and is probably called "Kózki-Idźki".

Niegossen / Niegosy

Niegossen was also founded in 1471 by the Teutonic Knight Order as a ten-hoofed estate. The small town is northeast of Kosken. Niegossen was mentioned by name until 1912, after which it is considered to be part of the Kosken community. After 1945 it was only called Niegosy , but is considered to have sunk .

Kosken with the two villages Itzken and Niegossen had a total of 182 inhabitants on December 1, 1912. The number rose to 190 by 1933 and was still 150 in 1939.

Due to the provisions of the Versailles Treaty , the population in the Allenstein voting area , to which Kosken belonged, voted on July 11, 1920 on whether they would continue to belong to East Prussia (and thus to Germany) or join Poland. In Kosken, 100 residents voted to remain with East Prussia, Poland did not receive any votes.

In 1945, as a result of the war, the entire southern East Prussia was transferred to Poland , which now also affected Kosken with Itzken and - nominally - Niegossen. All three places received Polish forms of name: Kózki, Idźki and Niegosy. Only Kózki, which is now also the seat of a Schulzenamt, is considered to be part of the urban and rural community Biała Piska . The population of Kózki was 87 in 2011.

Religions

Until 1945 the community Kosken with Itzken and Niegossen was parish in the Evangelical Church Kumilsko (1938 to 1945 Morgen , Polish Kumielsk ) in the church province East Prussia of the Church of the Old Prussian Union as well as in the Roman Catholic Church Johannisburg (Polish Pisz ) in the Diocese of Warmia .

Today, on the Catholic side, Kózki belongs to the parish Biała Piska with the branch church in the nearby Kowalewo (Kowalewen , 1938 to 1945 Richtwalde) , belonging to the diocese of Ełk of the Roman Catholic Church in Poland . The Protestant residents of Biała Piska also belong to their parish , which is a subsidiary of the Pisz parish and belongs to the Masurian diocese of the Evangelical-Augsburg Church in Poland .

Kosken became a school town in 1759.
