Karl König

[2] König was appointed paediatrician at the Rudolf Steiner-inspired Schloß Pilgrimshain institute in Strzegom, where he worked until 1936 when he returned to Vienna and set up a successful medical practice.

In 1938 he was forced to flee Vienna due to Hitler's invasion of Austria and relocated, at Dr. Wegman's suggestion, to Aberdeen, Scotland, where she had friends who could help recommence his work.

[1]: 169  From the mid-1950s, König set up more communities, including the first to care for those with special needs beyond school age in North Yorkshire.

[3] In 1964, König moved to Brachenreuthe, near Überlingen on Lake Constance, Germany, where he set up a community.

An archive of his writings is held by the Karl König Institute, a non-profit organisation in Berlin.
