Kokoszki

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Kokoszki ( German  Kokosken , 1930-1945 Hennenberg ) was a village in the northeastern Masuria in the Polish Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship , Powiat Ełcki ( Lyck district ) in the area of ​​the municipality Kalinowo (Kallinowen , 1938-1945 Dreimühlen ).

Geographical location

The village was located six kilometers northwest of the village of Kalinowo on a country road going off to the west from Iwaśki (Iwaschken , 1938 to 1945 Hansbruch) .

history

The place Kokosken emerged towards the end of the 15th century as a so-called free estate with a size of only five hooves, originating from Lyck .

In 1656 Kokosken was largely destroyed by the invasion of the Tatars, allied with Poland .

On May 27, 1874, in the course of a Prussian community reform, a new district of Kallinowen (1938 to 1945 Dreimühlen , Polish: Kalinowo ) was formed, which includes the communities of Alt Czymochen , Dorschen , Gingen , Iwaschken , Kallinowen , Kokosken, Kowahlen (Lyck district), Maaschen , Marczynowen , Pientken and Trentowsken included.

In 1910 Kokosken had 21 inhabitants.

Due to the provisions of the Versailles Treaty , the population in the Allenstein voting area , to which Kokosken belonged, voted on July 11, 1920 on whether they would continue to belong to East Prussia (and thus to Germany) or join Poland. In Kokosken, 20 residents voted to stay with East Prussia, Poland did not vote.

Kokosken was renamed "Hennenberg" on September 29, 1930 in the course of the increasing Germanization of place names of Masurian origin. In 1933 there were 27 inhabitants in Hennenberg, in 1939 Hennenberg had 24 inhabitants.

The peat extraction was the main source of income for the village population, for this purpose the lowland Krausshöfer Wiesen south-east of the village was parceled out. A windmill stood on a small hill on the southern outskirts. After the end of the Second World War in 1945, Hennenberg , which was part of the German Empire ( East Prussia ), fell to Poland . The resident German population was largely expelled or resettled after 1945, unless they had fled.

The place Hennenberg was renamed "Kokoszki" in the Polish translation of the historical place name Kokosken. Resettlement largely failed, so that Kokoszki disappeared as a village from the 1960s.

Religions

Until 1945 Kokosken was parish in the Evangelical Church of Kallinowen in the church province of East Prussia of the Church of the Old Prussian Union and in the Roman Catholic Church of St. Andreas in Prawdzisken (1934 to 1945 Reiffenrode , Polish Prawdziska ) in the then diocese of Warmia .
