Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: COR-CRE
COSEL , or KosEL, a town of Germany, in the Prussian province of Silesia, at the junction of the Klodnitz' and the Oder, 29 M. S.E. of Oppeln by rail. Pop. (1905) 7085. It has an Evangelical and a Roman Catholic
church
 , an old chateau and a grammar-school (Progymnasium). Its
industries
  are of some importance, including a manufactory of cellulose (employing 1200 hands), steam saw- and flour-mills and a petroleum refinery. There is a lively
trade
  by river.
The first
record
  of Cosel
dates
  from 1286. From 1306 to 1359 it was the seat of an independent duchy held by a
cadet
  line of the dukes of
Teschen
 . In 1532 it fell to the emperor, was several times besieged during the Thirty Years' War, and came into Prussian possession by the treaty of
Breslau
  in 1942. Frederick IL converted it into a fortress, which was besieged in vain by the Austrians in 1758, 1759, 1760 and 1762. In 1807 it withstood another siege, by the Bavarian
allies
  of
Napoleon
 . The fortifications were razed and their site converted into promenades in 1894.
