Kokoszka [ kɔˈkɔʂka ] ( German  Kokoska , 1938 to 1945 Kienhausen ) is a small town in the Polish Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship . He belongs to Gmina Ruciane-Nida ( urban and rural community Rudczanny / Niedersee - Nieden ) in Powiat Piski (Johannisburg district).

Kokoszka is located in the south-east of the Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship , 28 kilometers southeast of the former district town of Sensburg ( Polish Mrągowo ) and 17 kilometers northwest of today's district metropolis Pisz ( German  Johannisburg ). In 1704 the Kokoska colony was founded. Until 1945 it was a place to live within the rural community of Wigrinnen ( Wygryny in Polish ) in the Sensburg district in the Gumbinnen district (from 1905: Allenstein district ) in the Prussian province of East Prussia . Kokoska had 27 inhabitants in 1905. On June 3 (officially confirmed on July 16) 1938, the place was renamed to "Kienhausen" for political and ideological reasons to defend against foreign appearing place names .

As a result of the war, the colony came to Poland in 1945 with all of southern East Prussia and was given the Polish form of the name “Kokoszka”. Today it is part of the urban and rural community Ruciane-Nida (Rudzcanny / Niedersee - Nieden) in the Powiat Piski ( Johannisburg district ), until 1998 of the Suwałki Voivodeship , since then it has belonged to the Warmia-Masurian Voivodeship .

On the ecclesiastical side, Kokoska or Kienhausen was oriented towards Alt Ukta in the church province of East Prussia of the Church of the Old Prussian Union and on the Catholic side towards Sensburg in the Diocese of Warmia . Today the churches of both denominations are in Ukta with the Exaltation of the Cross of the Roman Catholic Church in Poland ( Diocese of Ełk ) and the Petrikirche of the parish of Mikołajki (Nikolaiken) of the Evangelical Augsburg Church in Poland ( Diocese of Masuria ). The province road 610 runs through Kokoszka and connects the community Piecki (whip village ) in powiat Mrągowski with the town of Ruciane-Nida in powiat Piski . Ruciane-Nida is the nearest train station and is on the Olsztyn – Ełk ( German  Allenstein – Lyck ) line.
