history

Local history

Marienthal was laid out in 1387 according to Kulm law with an area of ​​50 Włóka . The village was released from the burdens for twelve years and had an inn.

In 1657 Marienthal was attacked by the Tatars and burned down together with the wooden church. In 1710 the plague broke out in the area , claiming 13 lives in Marienthal.

When the district of Fürstenau ( Polish: Leśniewo ) was established in 1874 , Marienthal was incorporated. Until 1945 it belonged to the district of Rastenburg in the administrative district of Königsberg in the Prussian province of East Prussia .

As a result of the Second World War , Marienthal came to Poland and received the Polish form of the name "Kosakowo". In the school year 1949/50 56 pupils attended the village school. In 1954 Kosakowo became the seat of a Gromada until it was dissolved in 1957. 1973 Kosakowo became part of the municipality of Srokowo (Drengfurth) and at the same time the seat of a Schulzenamt ( Sołectwo in Polish ), to which the localities Łęsk (Lenzkeim) , Lipowo , Wikrowo (Wickerau) and Wólka Jankowska (Marienwalde) belonged. With the dissolution of the Olsztyn Voivodeship in 1999, Kosakowo became part of the newly formed Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship .

Population numbers

Kosakowo had 35 residential buildings in 1785 and 43 in 1817, in which 223 people lived. In May 1939 there were 429 inhabitants. The population had dropped to 170 in 1970. In 2011 it was 227.

church

There was already a church in Marienthal in the pre-Reformation period. She was subordinate to the archdeaconate Schippenbeil ( Polish: Sępopol ). With the Reformation , the community became Lutheran .

Evangelical

The parish of Marienthal was independent and assigned to the Rastenburg inspection. When the Tatar invaded the church building was devastated and burned down and not rebuilt. A granite - baptistery and a church bell from the 16th century still bear witness of that time. The bell from the second half of the 17th century hangs in a wooden belfry. The parish of Marienthal was given up and the place was included in the parish of the parish church of Drengfurth ( Srokowo in Polish ) until 1945 .

Today Kosakowo belongs to the Evangelical Church Sokrowo , a branch church of the Johanneskirche Kęrtzyn in the diocese of Masuria of the Evangelical-Augsburg Church in Poland .

Catholic

Until 1945 Marienthal was incorporated into the Catholic parish of Rastenburg in what was then the diocese of Warmia . Today Kosakowo belongs to the parish Srokowo in the current Archdiocese of Warmia .

traffic

The village of Kosakowo is located on a main road that leads from Barciany (Barten) to Srokowo (Drengfurth) and connects the two provincial roads 591 (former German Reichsstrasse 141 ) and 650 with each other. Two side streets from the neighboring towns of Wilczyny (Wolfshagen) and Wólka Jankowska (Marienwalde) end in Kosakowo.

There is no connection to rail traffic . Until 1945, Drengfurth was the next train station and was on the non-reactivated Rastenburg – Drengfurth railway of the Rastenburger Kleinbahnen .

The nearest international airport is Kaliningrad Airport , which is located about 90 kilometers northwest on Russian territory. The nearest international airport on Polish territory is Lech Wałęsa Airport in Gdansk, about 195 kilometers to the west .
