König studied from 1948 at the University of Kiel , where he received his doctorate under Karl-Heinrich Weise in 1952 ( New foundation for the theory of distributions by Laurent Schwartz ). From 1953 to 1955 he received a grant from the German Research Foundation in Kiel and Paris . In 1955 he became an assistant at the University of Würzburg , where he received his habilitation in 1956. From 1957 he was a lecturer at RWTH Aachen University , where he became an adjunct professor in 1959. In 1962 he became a professor at the University of Cologne and since 1965 he has been a professor at the University of Saarland . In 1970/71 he was Dean of the Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences and Vice-Rector from 1971 to 1973. He was also the Senate Commissioner for International Affairs. He turned down offers to the universities of Kiel and Heidelberg. He has been Professor Emeritus there since 1994. Among other things, he was visiting professor at Caltech (1967/68), at Witwatersrand University and visiting scholar at the Australian National University .

Among other things, König dealt with the theory of distributions , Hardy spaces , measurement and integration theory, and convex analysis with applications in economics.

From 1964 to 1980 he was on the scientific council of the Mathematisches Forschungszentrum Oberwolfach , where he has organized or helped to organize numerous conferences since 1966. From 1977 to 1981 he was the founding director of the Society for Mathematics, Economics and Operations Research (GMÖOR). He was a founding member of the Heisenberg program of the German Research Foundation.

He is an honorary doctor of the University of Karlsruhe (1979) and received the Otto Volk Medal in bronze from the University of Würzburg in 2006. Since 1984 he has been a corresponding member of the Société Royale des Sciences de Liège and became an officer of the Ordre Grand-Ducal de la Couronne de Chêne in Luxembourg . From 1965 to 1994 he was co-editor of the Archive of Mathematics.
