history
The first documentary mention of the place took place in 1190. The community goes from 1291. Like its neighboring towns of Kraasa and Dobraschütz , Oberkossa was on the western border of the Wettin district of Altenburg , which from the 16th century onwards was under the sovereignty of the following Ernestine duchies due to several divisions in the course of its existence : Duchy of Saxony (1554 to 1572), Duchy of Saxony-Weimar ( 1572 to 1603), Duchy of Saxony-Altenburg (1603 to 1672), Duchy of Saxony-Gotha-Altenburg (1672 to 1826). When the Ernestine duchies were reorganized in 1826, the place came back to the duchy of Saxony-Altenburg. After the administrative reform in the duchy, Oberkossa belonged to the eastern district (until 1900) and to the Altenburg district office (from 1900). From 1879 the Altenburg District Court and since 1906 the Meuselwitz District Court were legally responsible for the place. From 1918 the village belonged to the Free State of Saxony-Altenburg , which was added to the State of Thuringia in 1920. In 1922 it came to the district of Altenburg .
On July 1, 1950, Oberkossa was incorporated into Kraasa together with Dobraschütz. During the second district reform in the GDR in 1952, the existing states were dissolved and the districts were redesigned. Thus Oberkossa came as part of the municipality Kraasa with the district Altenburg to the district of Leipzig , which since 1990 belonged to the district Altenburg Thuringia and opened in 1994 Altenburger in the district of the country. On January 1, 1957, the municipality of Kraasa with its two districts was incorporated into the municipality of Naundorf , which was reclassified from the Schmölln district (Leipzig district) to the Altenburg district. With the incorporation of the Naundorf community into the Starkenberg community, Oberkossa became a district of the Starkenberg community on December 1, 2008. In 2012 a total of 54 inhabitants lived in the hamlet-like village.
