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

The title "marketplace" is given to places within a town where goods were or are bought and sold. This type of trade contributed significantly to the rise of cities in the Middle Ages. Since the beginning of urban development, markets have been the centers of urban life, often also spaces of high urban significance. Due to their function, they are often located in the center of historic city centers. The history of marketplaces in Germany dates back to the 10th century.
