George Konig

George Konig (January 26, 1856 – May 31, 1913) was a United States Congressman who represented Maryland's 3rd congressional district from 1911 until his death in 1913.

He grew up in the Fell's Point neighborhood of Baltimore, Maryland, and obtained minimal schooling.

He left the police force in 1881 and served as treasurer for the Ship Caulkers' Union for over 12 years.

In May 1903, Konig won the first ward seat of the first branch of the city council, and was re-elected in 1905.

Much of this area was contained within Maryland's 3rd congressional district, which he would win election to in 1910 by unseating a Republican incumbent.
