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.

In former times, Zeysendorf village stood here. The memorial stone stands in the immediate vicinity of the original meadow, right next to an information board about the flora and fauna of the dry slopes. A beautiful trail leads to the original meadow. It's a lovely spot, especially when everything is in bloom.

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
