Eponym Rudolf König

König is a lunar crater on the southwest Mare Nubium. It lies to the southwest of the prominent Bullialdus crater, and northwest of the flooded Kies crater. The rim of König is somewhat polygonal in outline, with a small outward bulge to the south and only a slight outer rampart. The crater interior is rough and irregular, with a negligible central peak. The material along the inner sides has slumped to the floor forming a ring of debris around the small central floor.

By convention these features are identified on lunar maps by placing the letter on the side of the crater mid-point that is closest to König crater.
