Kossen was first mentioned in 1421 or 1422 as Kossin . Later, Kossen quickly became common as a place name, as it has been passed down for the year 1443. But also Kossin (1445/1447) or Cossen (1449) were common during this period. The name variant Coßen is also mentioned for the year 1791 .

In the 15th century a farm has been handed down, a little later a Vorwerk was mentioned and in 1741 a manor in Kossen is finally mentioned. Kossen was under the administration in Eilenburg until the 18th century. In the middle of the 15th century the village belonged to the Eilenburg care , a hundred years later the Eilenburg office was given as the superordinate authority. In 1542 Gottfried von Ende held the manorial rule over six possessed men who lived in Kossen. Later the place fell to the noble family von Lindenau , who also owned the Gotha manor . During this time, Johann Friedrich von Lindenau , Wolf von Lindenau , Carl Heinrich August von Lindenau and Heinrich Gottlieb von Lindenau owned the Kossener estate. In 1747, the Lindenau aristocratic family ruled over five possessed men and six cottagers who farmed 2 12 Hufen of land. After the Congress of Vienna , the Eilenburg area was ceded to Prussia . In 1816 Kossen was assigned to the Delitzsch district in the Prussian province of Saxony.

In 1895, a 76- hectare manor block area extended around the Kossen estate, on which the rural population of the village pursued their agriculture. The population this year was 59, fifteen years ago it was 120. By 1925 the population rose again to over 100 people, of 108 in that year 91 were Protestant and 17 were Catholic . The village was parish in the 19th century after Püchau and still belongs to the local parish today .

As a result of the Second World War , the Delitzsch district came into the Soviet occupation zone and later into the GDR, which was founded in 1949 . A year later, the communal independence of Kossen ended with the incorporation into the neighboring Groitzsch to the north on July 1, 1950. The affiliation to Delitzsch, which had existed since 1816, was repealed during the 1952 regional reform and Groitzsch and Kossen were assigned to the Eilenburg district in the Leipzig district . Rural life in Kossen was now based on the principle of agriculture in the GDR . Another change of area occurred on October 1, 1972, when Groitzsch was incorporated into Gotha together with Kossen.

After the German reunification , the Eilenburg district became part of the re-established Free State of Saxony. Since the municipality of Gotha with its 280 inhabitants was too small to remain independent, it merged with Liemehna , Pehritzsch and Jesewitz to form the new municipality of Jesewitz with effect from March 1, 1994 . On the basis of the borders before 1994, four localities were formed within the municipality. Kossen belongs to the locality of Gotha and is represented by the local council. The following regional reforms in Saxony assigned Jesewitz to a district of Delitzsch on August 1, 1994 and in 2008 to the district of Northern Saxony .

The location of Kossen is located in a flood hazard area and is often affected by floods, for example during the Mulde flood in 2002 when a nearby dike broke. The village was also flooded during the flood in June 2013 .
