Rugadh Karl König i dteaghlach Giúdach sa bhliain 1902 agus tógadh é i Vín le linn blianta deiridh Impireacht na hOstaire-na hUngáire. Rinne sé staidéar ar an leigheas agus le linn an ama seo tháinig sé trasna ar shaothar Rudolf Steiner. Go gairid i ndiaidh dó céim a bhaint amach, d’oibrigh sé le Ita Wegman san Eilvéis, áit ar casadh a bhean chéile, Tilla, air freisin.
Bhí sé ina cheannródaí i laethanta tosaigh Pilgramshain, teach do leanaí le riachtanais speisialta i Silesia na Gearmáine. Mar sin féin, i 1936 faoi bhrú polaitiúil d’fhág sé an Ghearmáin agus chuaigh sé go dtí an Ostair. Bhí cleachtas mór leighis aige anseo chomh maith le bheith ina phointe fócas do ghrúpa daoine óga a raibh suim acu in obair Steiner.
Tar éis do na Naitsithe an Ostair a ghabháil, tháinig König agus a lán de na daoine óga timpeall air go dtí an Bhreatain mar dhídeanaithe. Cuireadh idéal an phobail i bhfeidhm nuair a bunaíodh Camphill sa bhliain 1939. Ba é König an fórsa tiomána taobh thiar de leathnú ghluaiseacht Camphill ar fud Oileáin na Breataine, isteach san Eoraip, san Afraic Theas agus i Meiriceá Thuaidh. Fuair sé bás sa bhliain 1966.
