Nomenclature
- Named for Rudolf König (1865-1927), an Austrian mathematician, astronomer. In lunar studies, König is noted for completing and publishing the second set of Johann Krieger's Atlas, as well as for an very excellent 17-inch map of the Moon's full disk, apparently of his own construction.
- Named by Karl Müller in Named Lunar Formations in 1935 (Whitaker, p 229).
- A hill west-northwest of Konig seems to have been called Phi (see Chart 80 in the Times Atlas of the Moon). Was this Konig Phi or Hippalus Phi?
Lettered Craters
Excerpt from the USGS Digital Atlas of the Moon.
