Otto H. Königsberger (13 October 1908 – 3 January 1999) was a German-Indian architect who worked mainly in urban development planning in Africa, Asia and Latin America, with the United Nations.

[8][9] He emigrated to England in 1951, but remained an Indian citizen until 1991, when he was driven to take British citizenship due to the UK government's stance on immigration legislation, which made it problematic for him to receive health care in the United Kingdom.

He served as a senior adviser to the United Nations Economic and Social Council from the 1950s, and helped launch Habitat International[12] in 1976, which he edited until 1978.

In 1989, Königsberger was one of the first recipients of the UN Habitat Scroll of Honour, the most prestigious award given by the United Nations in recognition of work carried out in the field of human settlements development.

[14][15] The same year, University College London established the Otto Koenigsberger Scholarship[16] to enable young professionals from developing countries to study urban planning in the UK.
