A man of ethnic German descent, Koenig has always hated Paul Bronski, believing that he should have been selected as Dean of the medical school at the University of Warsaw. He has his chance for revenge, however, as the Nazis take control, immediately obtaining membership in the Nazi Party and setting about to humiliate Paul Bronski, who returns from battle with one arm amputated. Koenig is given an important post in the Nazi administration of Warsaw and uses it to commandeer Bronski's home for his own. He gives Paul a position as head of the Jewish Civil Authority, requiring that Paul implement directives from the Nazis.
