The barely noticeable locality of Kosaki is located in the south-east of the Warmia-Masurian Voivodeship directly on the Johannis River ( Wincenta in Polish ), which once formed the state border between the German Empire and Poland and today separates the two Voivodships Warmia-Masuria and Podlachia .

history

Kossaken was founded in 1476 by the German Order of Knights as a freehold estate with seven hooves under Magdeburg law . The village, which was incorporated into the Morgen district from 1874 to 1945, formed only a few small farms .

In 1910, 35 residents were registered in Cossacks, in 1933 there were 34. On June 3, 1938, the village was foreign-sounding place names in "Guardian Hausen" for political and ideological reasons of defense renamed . The population was 31 in 1939.

As a result of the war, Kossaken came to Poland in 1945 along with all of southern East Prussia and received the Polish form of the name "Kosaki". No new residents settled here permanently, so that the place was soon forgotten and is now considered a desert .
