history

Kochsdorf was first mentioned in a document in 1377 under the spelling Kochsdorff . According to Reinhard E. Fischer, the place name is derived from either the German surname Koch or a Slavic personal name ("village that was inhabited by a man named Koch.").

For the year 1844, there were 106 inhabitants in Kochsdorf who lived in 24 buildings. The village was administratively assigned to the Spremberg Rent Office and was parish church in the city of Spremberg. Kochsdorf used to be a predominantly Sorbian-speaking village, but the number of Sorbian-speaking residents fell sharply towards the end of the 19th century. For his statistics on the Sorbian population in Lausitz, Arnošt Muka determined a total of 461 inhabitants in the 1880s, of which only 160 were Sorbs and 301 were Germans.

After the Congress of Vienna in 1815, the previously Saxon Lower Lusatia and thus the municipality of Kochsdorf passed to the Kingdom of Prussia . When the new district was formed in 1816, the community came to the Spremberg district . On January 1, 1946, the place was incorporated into the city of Spremberg together with Heinrichsfeld and Slamen . On July 25, 1952, the new Spremberg district in the Cottbus district was formed from the Spremberg district , to which the town of Spremberg and its districts were assigned. After the reunification , Kochsdorf was initially in the Spremberg district in Brandenburg . After the district reform in December 1993, the village came to the newly formed Spree-Neisse district .
