history
The first documentary mention of the street village Kossin took place in 1472 with the spelling Kossyn , the place name is of Slavic origin and can be interpreted as "settlement on a slope ". This place name can be traced back to the location of Kossins in the Fläming hill country. At that time Kossin belonged to the Bärwalde dominion, which was also known as the Bärwalde country . After raids and destruction during the Thirty Years' War , among other things the village church was completely destroyed, Kossin was a desert in 1687 , at the beginning of the 18th century the reconstruction of the place began.
With the beginning of the establishment of district administrations in the Mark Brandenburg , Kossin belonged to the Zaucheschen Kreis and, together with the other places in the little country Bärwalde, formed an exclave within the Luckenwalde district , which at that time still belonged to the Duchy of Magdeburg . Only after the Congress of Vienna did the municipality of Kossin come to the Jüterbog-Luckenwalde district . After the GDR district reform in July 1952, Kossin was in the Jüterbog district in the Potsdam district . On April 1, 1959, Kossin was incorporated into Wiepersdorf . Since the fall of the Wall and the Brandenburg district reform in 1993, Kossin has belonged to the Teltow-Fläming district . On December 31, 1997 Wiepersdorf was united with 13 other communities to Niederer Fläming , since then Kossin has been part of the new community.
Kossin had already seen a population decline since the 1960s, and by 2011 the population had dropped to 24. Since then, the population has been rising again, to 37 in December 2017.
