Our generated misspelling index lists 16 likely wrong-spelling variants for Königsberg, with forms such as "kkönigsberg", "knöigsberg", and "köingsberg".

No close-neighbour confusable shows up for this headword in our dataset, suggesting its spelling stands apart enough that readers rarely confuse it with something else.
