The neighboring villages are Koźlice ( Köslitz ) in the north-west, the Zgorzelec district Ujazd ( Moys ) and Tylice ( Thielitz ) in the north and Kunów ( Kuhna ) in the north-east.

history

Around 1563 the place belonged to the city of Görlitz . At that time six farmers and three gardeners lived in it. Five years later, Hans Glücky bought the settlement for 1000 thalers. He was both heir and court lord of Köslitz. Hans Glücky and later his son Viktorin bought up all the farms in the village. Glücky and the successor Friedrich Berger von Kosma all taxes and contributions, except for the rural pension. From 1633 until 1814 the farmers had to do farm and hand services for the tax exemption.

In 1813 first French and later Prussian troops crossed the village and plundered the farms. After the troops withdrew, people turned to the neighboring villages of Leschwitz and Wendisch-Ossig for help. As early as 1823 a post road led from Görlitz to Seidenberg and on to Bohemia. Kosma did not have her own school or church. The place belonged to the parish of Schönbrunn. The next school was in Kuhna and was built in 1820. The village of Kosma had to contribute to the construction costs according to the number of inhabitants.

The houses east of the street once belonged to the Friedrichsfelde colony in the Lauban district , while the houses to the west of the street belonged to the Görlitz district . In 1933 the place received a post office. After the end of the Second World War , the areas east of the Neisse fell to Poland. Motorized traffic through the town increased sharply after the Turów power plant was built . Today there is a restaurant and several small companies and shops in the place.
