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.

This stately half-timbered house, built in 1706, stands on the corner of "Goldene Röhrengasse." The builder must have been a pious man, because he had three medallions with mysterious, carved letter sequences attached to the house. The letters are then grouped together in a square and arranged so that, when read from top to bottom and crisscross, they form the same sequences as in the medallions. The meaning of the letter sequences is difficult to guess. But it has been handed down. The pious sayings that result from them point to the house owner's Christian stance. The invention of the letter game was certainly a masterpiece.

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.

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.
