War memorial located in a green area on the Schlossberg: an octagonal temple with a dome, with images of steel helmets on oak leaves on the exterior, with bayonets pointing downwards below, and memorial plaques inside. At the rear of the green area is a kneeling figure, with commemorative plaques next to it, some arranged in a cross shape. The complex was restored between 2014 and 2022.

Königsberg originated around 1180 as a result of the construction of a castle on the "King's Vineyard" (for the castle, see: Königsberg Castle), presumably on the land of an old Frankish royal domain. However, a settlement called "Ingelhofen" already existed in the suburbs in the early Middle Ages. Königsberg was first mentioned in 1234, was granted market rights in 1333, and finally, in 1358, full city rights. Source: https://de.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/K%C3%B6nigsberg_in_Bayern

Königsberg in Bavaria is a worthwhile destination for those who want to see beautifully preserved half-timbered houses. The Königsberg Roland is considered the southernmost Roland statue in Germany. Roland statues were considered symbols of civil liberties, usually associated with corresponding rights such as market rights or their own jurisdiction.
