history

The village of Kossewen was founded in 1546. From 1874 to 1945 it was incorporated into the Muntowen district ( Muntowo in Polish ), which - renamed "Muntau District" in 1938 - belonged to the Sensburg district in the Gumbinnen district (from 1905: Allenstein district ) in the Prussian province of East Prussia . The villages of Bahnhof Kossewen (1938 to 1945: Bahnhof Rechenberg (Ostpr.)) And Ober Kossewen (1938 to 1945 Oberrechenberg , Polish: Kosewo Górne ) were incorporated into the rural community of Kossewen . In 1910 the community had a total of 514 inhabitants.

Due to the provisions of the Versailles Treaty , the population voted in the referendums in East and West Prussia on July 11, 1920 on whether they would continue to belong to East Prussia (and thus Germany) or join Poland. In Kossewen, 380 residents voted to remain with East Prussia, Poland did not receive any votes.

On September 30, 1928, Kossewen expanded to include the neighboring town of Kutzen ( Kucze in Polish ), which was incorporated into the municipality. On June 3 (officially confirmed on 16 July) 1938 the village received from political and ideological reasons of defense foreign-sounding place names a new name and was in "Rechenberg (Ostpr.)" Renamed .

As a result of the war, all of southern East Prussia and thus also Kossewen / Rechenberg came to Poland in 1945 . The village received the Polish form of the name “Kosewo”. Today it is the seat of a Schulzenamt ( Polish Sołectwo ), which also includes Kosewo Górne and Kucze . As such, the village is a village in the composite of Gmina Mrągowo (Town Sensburg ) in mrągowo county (Kreis Sensburg ) until 1998, the Olsztyn Province (Olsztyn) , since the Warmia and Mazury belong. In 2011 Kosewo had 406 inhabitants.
