Koßdorf was first mentioned in 1234 as Costensdorp. The name probably comes from the Slavic kost (bone). In 1234 the Dobrilugk monastery owned 3½ hooves in Koßdorf. 1251 Costinsdorph becomes a branch of the old Belgian people . 1272 is Heinrich the Illustrious four hooves, which had Otto von Cozebude as Lehn, the wife of the same as a jointure . In 1289, Margrave Diezmann decreed that offenders who were caught in Blumberg should be hanged on the gallows in Koßdorf.

In 1443 Hincko Birke received the rule of Mühlberg and thus Koßdorf from Duba . In 1482 Hans Birke von der Duba prescribed his wife Koßdorf as personal items. Presumably, with the death of Frau Birke von der Duba, the place of Amtsdorf of the Electoral Saxon Office Mühlberg became. The Marienstern monastery apparently owned some goods in Koßdorf, as 16 men and the pastor paid hereditary interest from hereditary fields to the monastery in the inheritance book of 1550 . In 1637, Koßdorf was heavily devastated by Swedish troops. In 1550 there were 17 hooves in Koßdorf.

During the Seven Years' War , on February 20, 1760 near Koßdorf, there was a battle between Prussian (von Zetteritz) and Austrian (von Beck) troops.

In 1816 there were 221 inhabitants in Koßdorf, around 1910 there were 340 inhabitants. In 1912 a Dutch windmill was built. In 1980 it was placed under monument protection and is still in operation, but today it is electric.

Since the places Wenzendorf, Lehndorf and Koßdorf were close together, they have always formed a school and church community. On July 1, 1950 Lönnewitz was incorporated.

On August 31, 2001, Koßdorf merged with Altenau , Brottewitz , Fichtenberg , Martinskirchen and Mühlberg / Elbe to form the new town of Mühlberg / Elbe and has since been part of the city of Mühlberg / Elbe, which is not an official city.

Political Affiliation

Since the 15th century the place Koßdorf belonged to the Electoral Saxon Office Mühlberg , since 1816 to the Prussian district of Liebenwerda , in 1952 to the district of Bad Liebenwerda (renamed in 1990 to the district of Bad Liebenwerda) and since 1993 to the district of Elbe-Elster .
