Koty, Pisz County
Koty (pronounced [ˈkɔtɨ], German: Kotten[1]) was a village in the administrative district of Gmina Biała Piska, within Pisz County, Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship, in northern Poland.[2] The town no longer exists, as the region was converted into a military training ground, the Poligon Orzysz [pl]. It lay about a kilometer southwest of Zdedy, and about 112 km (70 mi) east of the regional capital Olsztyn.
Historically belonging to the Masurian cultural region, Koty was established in the mid-15th Century, and its population was entirely Lutheran by the 20th Century.[3] Its name is the Polish word for "cats."[4]
During World War I, 52 soldiers were buried in the town's cemetery, Of them, 45 were German, 3 were Russian, and 4 were unidentified.[5]
